Moon Europa
2016 - 67' - English, Portuguese, Finnish, Swedish, Arabic, Greek, German (Available subtitles: English, Italian, German)
L'inverno arriva nell'artica europea e la trasforma in un posto irriconoscibile, freddo e buio. Durante le notti polari, al nord, la vita umana sembra sospesa, è inabitabile, come la luna. E comunque, è casa per alcune persone che vengono da lontano.
Tra i colli della Lapponia troviamo Moira, che, recentemente giunta dalla Grecia, costruisce un muro di ghiaccio, cercando di realizzare se stessa; Tito, che sviluppa fotografie nella sua camera oscura, pensando nostalgicamente alla luce estiva del Portogallo; e Abdullah, che, facendosi una nuova casa, cerca di dimenticare i tempi duri della Siria appena lasciata dietro di sé.
Io arrivo in questo posto lo condivido con loro. Amore, famiglia e scopi. Che cosa li ha portati qui? E per quale motivo rimangono qui, circondati dal buio?
