EN: The Kurdish Iraqi poet and actor Zeravan Khalil travels with his dog through an Alpine gorge after fleeing from IS war and genocide. As he remembers the abomination, he writes a poem with the title “You drive me mad” in Kurmanji Kurdish. In his home country, Yazidic Kurds are forbidden to work in his profession. Then he eats his apple and wanders through Europe’s middle with more hope.

Als er sich an die Gräuel erinnert, schreibt er ein Gedicht mit dem Titel „Du machst mich verrückt“ auf Kurmandschi. In seiner Heimat hatte er als jesidischer Kurde Arbeitsverbot. Dann verzehrt er seinen Apfel und wandert hoffnungsvoll durch Europas Mitte.
