"Zurückbleiben bitte!" is a melancholic yet humorous experimental short film that delves into the chaotic mind of a woman who has recently immigrated to Berlin. A stream of consciousness unfolds following an unexpected incident in her homeland, Iran. As she navigates her new physical surroundings, her inner world is shaped by a parallel digital reality, her mobile phone buzzing with news from the ongoing "Woman, Life, Freedom" uprising. Blending time and space, the film explores the relative nature of freedom and happiness. Entirely shot on a mobile phone, it is both an intimate portrait and a political reflection.
