No Name by Selam Tesfu-Michael (CH, 2026, 23’)
Synopsis
Every night, just before dawn, a woman walks to the sea and lies down on the shore, allowing the waves to wash over her body. At 6:00 a.m., an alarm rings. She gets up and resumes the routines of ordinary life. But something lingers. One night, she slips into another realm. Her husband is there. It is their last night before his departure. Their farewell unfolds in silence, through a fragile dance. Between migration and crossings of the Mediterranean, between promise and disappearance, the film follows a body that has survived while a part of it remains lost at sea.
