Children of Spring

About This Movie

Children of Spring is this raw, atmospheric documentary that captures a moment of pause for a group of Syrian refugees on a Berlin rooftop. The city sprawls beneath them, a stark contrast to their harrowing journey across the Mediterranean. The film’s pacing is deliberate, allowing you to soak in the weight of their memories and the reality of their present. It’s all about the feelings—the tension between the open sky and the depths below. There's no grandstanding, just real people sharing silent moments, which makes it feel intimate. The way the camera lingers, it’s almost like you’re there with them, feeling the summer air and the heavy thoughts they carry. It's distinct in its simplicity and powerful in what it leaves unsaid.
