Nostalgia

Storyline

What do sourdough bread, the next Star Wars prequel and Donald Trump have in common? All three revive a feeling that is as old as the world, but still very potent: nostalgia. Multifaceted, personal or collective, poetic or reactionary, nostalgia is a complex emotional state.

About the film/director

Born and raised on La Réunion - a French overseas territory - she works as a freelance documentary filmmaker and author in Karlsruhe.

She likes to tell stories about the relationships between people, the environment and places - in portraits, reportages or essays.
