Content
Khalil Khalil fled across the Mediterranean in 2015. His degree in law doesn’t help him in Germany. But his tenacity and humour certainly do. He uses it to explore the dialect spoken by his fellow citizens in the region of Baden. This provokes plenty of laughter and gives Khalil access to the people in his new home. One of eight brief portraits that emphasise how different the individual experience of flight and new beginning can be.
Excerpt from the jury’s statement
Europe is a continent of migration. Most people have a history of flight at some stage in their family tree. Alla gut!, the first in an eight-part series of short but profound episodes, takes a humorous yet never trivial approach to portraying how the trauma of becoming uprooted can engender a determination to explore one’s new home and forge new bonds.
