Şifa (Hümeyra, Rangin, Maral)
belit sağ
The film shows migrant women from Turkey living in the Netherlands. Hümeyra, Rengin and Maral selected songs that accompanied them through losses they experienced in the first year of the Covid-19 pandemic. The portrait shows them in the streets, parks and squares of Amsterdam. Using their bodies and songs, they occupy the public space, bringing the private into the public, as often happened in lockdown.
Guests: belit sağ and Cana Bilir-Meier
