After Spring Comes Fall

Deutschland 2014/2015 Spielfilm

Mina, a young Kurdish woman, flees from Syria after her neighborhood is besieged by the militia and her husband is seriously injured. Upon arrival in Berlin, she begins to build up a new, albeit illegal, life. She transfers money to her family regularly in order to finance her husband’s medical treatment. The Syrian Security Service traces her transactions and finds her. Through intimidation and threats of violence, they force her to work as an informant. Over time, Mina gains the trust of the Syrian opposition and uses this to relay information on the Syrian Resistance to her handlers.

A dark and fascinating film about the lives of Kurdish refugees in Germany, shaped by betrayal, collaboration and violence.
