Taste of Salt

Taste of Salt

Two actors interview two young men about their fate: while Bilal came to Europe on a death boat, Ammar is on a hopeless search for his brother, who went missing in the Mediterranean. Between male tenderness in a refugee shelter and a hopeless search for housing, the experiences of the two men culminate in a theater piece: the actors play a couple of parents who have just received the last call from their son — he has just boarded a death boat. An endless struggle with loss, powerlessness, and hope begins — a state of mind that unites many exiles in Europe.
