In the Name of Scheherazade or the First Beer Garden in Tehran

Bavarian beer culture in Iran? – but without alcohol please. A German visa for a homosexual Syrian without war experience? An Afghan artist who speaks “only” German? An Iranian film student is desperate for the lack of understanding of her German tutor, who simply does not see the connections. She finally seeks help from Scheherazade for her graduation film at the University of Television and Film Munich. A daring and (self-) critical a narrative experiment unfolds that breaks all conventions and humorously incorporates its own failure.
