Selima

A father and his son meet as complete strangers in Central Switzerland and become friends. The memory of an old love leads the father to suspect who the boy is. The boy, having grown up in a Lebanese Palestinian camp, believes his parents are victims of an Israeli bombing. After his love for a Swiss woman fails, he begins to uncover a new truth: his father is Swiss, his mother a victim of an honor killing, and he himself is a child of prostitution. Desperate, he resists this reality and returns to Lebanon. There, his life takes an unexpected turn: he decides to fly to Berlin.
