Golem, the Spirit of Exile

The film tells the story of a woman and her sisters who face exile after losing their husbands. Drawing parallels to the biblical figure Ruth, their journey highlights the struggles of migration and the feeling of being unrooted, much like the Golem itself.

Directed during a time of personal exile for the filmmaker, the narrative reflects real-life experiences of displacement. The film features prominent actors such as Hanna Schygulla and Vittorio Mezzogiorno, adding depth to the poignant themes presented.
