The Colosseum

Tony is admitted to a rehabilitation center after a serious ski accident. Dependent on the medical staff and pain relievers, she takes time to look back on a turbulent relationship that she experienced with Georgio.

In search of inspiration for her new novel, Sylvie spies on her neighbors in the building across the street using a telescope. When she hires young Adam to help her with her daily routine, she has no idea that he will turn her life and her work upside down, until the fiction she had imagined surpasses the reality of them all.

He literally falls from the sky. Azad, a young man carrying a little lamb in a suitcase, on his way to a new life: a wedding with a Dutch-Kurdish woman. The road to this wedding is an absurd, surprising and poetic one, with the young bloke being afflicted by all sorts of unexpected setbacks. What does he give up by coming over here and what does he gain by marrying a woman he has never met? In this allegorical film, the search for a better life is visualised in an intense way.
