Dwelling Among the Gods
Synopsis : After an exhausting journey to Europe, a young Afghan Fereshteh reaches Belgrade with her husband and three children. There, she finds out that her younger brother Ali, who came to Belgrade before them, has drowned and will soon be buried as an N.N. In a story reminiscent of Sophocles’ Antigone, Fereshteh struggles against state structures, family tradition and the role of the woman in a patriarchal society. Although Fereshteh doesn't have personal documents and can not prove her own identity, she refuses to leave Belgrade before burying her brother under his proper name. She initiates a complex procedure to prove his identity through a DNA sample of her father who is still in Afghanistan. After she finally succeeds and gets the permit to take over the body, Fereshteh learns that her father wants to bury his son in Afghanistan. Her whole life, Fereshteh has been following her father's will indisputably. But this time, she decides to act on her own.
