Jenseits von Heimat portrays Syrian women’s experiences in their German exile with a focus on arguments, friendships and ultimately change triggered by the refugee’s arrival. The film immerses the audience in the worlds of Samar, Batoul and Nibal who arrived five years ago and now live in the remote communities of Altena, a medieval town in the hills of the Sauerland, and on the tiny North Sea Island of Föhr.
