In a joint work, video artist Sarah Hugentobler and filmmaker Stephan Hermann explore the question of how peace is interpreted in the here and now. A choir of fellow human beings reflects on the banality of the here and the tragedy of the there. The essayistic-documentary approach is a response to an omnipresent feeling of powerlessness. The polyphony becomes a dialog, the conversation becomes reconciliation.
The "Fridu" project was originally commissioned by the Gertrud Kurz Foundation and builds a bridge a bridge to the peace activist.
