Ankommen

The motion comic tells two stories. One begins in Damascus and leads first to East Berlin – Isi moves from Syria to the GDR to study. There he falls in love with Sylvia. With her, he returns to his family. But that's not the end of their journey. The second story begins in Leipzig – in 1989, Conni takes to the streets to demand change in the GDR. After reunification, she moves to Mainz in the old federal states. She, too, has to settle into a new place, a new system. She realizes that home doesn't have to be just one place. Two stories, one question. What does "arriving" actually mean?
