Story

This 32-minute black-and-white documentary interweaves two interconnected narratives. The first follows a truck driver's journey across southern Africa, grappling with memories of a failed relationship. Simultaneously, the film examines the historical tragedy of the Namibian Herero people, who suffered devastating losses in early 20th-century German colonial concentration camps near Luderitz. Through layered sound design and unconventional cinematography, the director explores how personal and collective histories intersect.
