Where We Belong
by Jacqueline Zünd, 2019, Switzerland, 78' Greek Premiere
When parents split up, a family falls apart. Two separate worlds emerge from what was once considered a unity. Children now live between two homes, in constant transition. This film explores their reality, focusing on the fragility and bravery, intelligence and humour with which children perceive their situation.
