Mallorca, a holiday dream. And an island with too many tourists and too little living space. But there is also another story hidden between the colourful beach umbrellas and picturesque hiking trails: a tightly entangled one of military dictatorship and forced labour, of forgetting and concealment, of the struggle for memorial sites… Jaume Serra Cardell, a teacher from Sa Pobla, was shot dead in 1937 in the military fortress of Illetes, on Mallorca. Today, his niece is fighting for a critical examination of the historical past and is collecting evidence.
Ten years ago, young Syrian Alayham fled civil war, and the threat of being drafted, for Germany. There, he became one of the first refugees in Eckernförde – there were six of them at the time, he later remembers. Quickly learning German, he got politically involved in refugee projects, and spoke publicly about his experiences. A move to Jena for university followed: a new everyday life with exam stress, living in a shared flat, a relationship. It was during his studies that he finally felt that he was no longer being reduced to his experience as a refugee: he belonged. Alayham found his feet, as much as possible in a foreign country. But when is “arriving” truly over? Over a period of ten years, documentary filmmaker Fredo Wulf accompanied Alayham on his journey from Schleswig-Holstein via Jena to Heidelberg, where he has lived since getting his medical license.
