Ein Grab an der Grenze /A Grave on the Border
​
A Grave on the Border is an intimate account of war and flight by Syrian refugee Rose Alkhaled. Filmed in a small town in Germany, this atmospheric short immerses the viewer in the world of Rose’s memories that surface at night. Rose tells her story through emotive sculptures made out of newspaper and performance of her poetry. Quiet night-time scenes are forcefully disrupted by Rose’s nightmares as they burst to the surface of her mind.​​​
