Reham Mohammed

Ten-year-old Nojoom was forced to marry a 30-year-old man. The dowry offered the family a small income and 'one less mouth to feed'. Nojoom discovers that her life will take a turn for the worse. Her husband is indifferent to her age. Every day after she is wedded, the child works under harsh conditions and every night, the child-bride is raped by a man 20 years older than her. A legitimate and acceptable arrangement for all, except for Nojoom.

Inspired by Jonas Mekas' film diaries, a film was created as a collaborative work of remembrance. Where refugees from the GDR were once housed, young refugees now live again in Marienfelde. Filmmaking itself becomes a search for a voice to narrate one's own life, while the question of where we feel at home hangs over everything.
