SCHOOL OF HOPE
Finland, France, Morocco 2020 – Director: Mohamed El Aboudi – Original language: Arabic – Subtitles: English – Length: 78 min.
Nothing but rocks as far as the eye can see. Animals and people go thirsty due to the aridity. In the middle of this, there is a little school. Its location is remote and not all children are allowed to attend. And yet it is their greatest wish, which is recounted in quiet, compelling images.
We present the German Premiere of the film.
