In a village in Egypt, young men dream of migrating to Europe where they hope to find money, freedom, and new horizons. In Vienna, Egyptian migrants long for home. Their tales of migration reveal that the realities of living in Europe are more complex and nuanced than they themselves might have dreamt. Paradise, for both sides of this fictional dialogue, is always elsewhere. And perhaps happiness lies not in making old dreams come true, but in finding new ones. The series of showings listed below include Q&A sessions with film-makers Daniela Swarowsky and Samuli Schielke.
