The Goethe-Kino in January presents a road movie which takes us across northern Iraq. Kurdish siblings Alan, Jan and Lya were born there and grew up in Germany. When their mother dies, they return to take her coffin across the Region of Kurdistan-Iraq to fulfill her last wish: to be buried next to her husband.
Director Soleen Yusef was born in Duhok in the Kurdish part of Iraq. When she was nine years old her family fled to Germany for political reasons. In Berlin Yusef attended acting and singing lessons while also working as an assistant in film production, direction and distribution. In 2008 she took up her studies in film at the Film Acadamy Baden-Württemberg, which she completed with her graduation film House Without Roof.
