THE JOURNEY – A STORY OF LOVE

A man and a woman travel through the world in a minivan: he, a restlessly inventive photographer, and she, the love of his life, paralysed from the neck down for the last 20 years. With courage, wit and charm they wrest from life, what it still holds worth living for. But what happens to love, when the circumstances of life change so drastically? The filmmaker (and daughter) goes in search of answers full of curiosity and wonder.

Since the end of the war in Yugoslavia they meet once a year – somewhere in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The ground which they step on is full of danger. A threat which, even after 20 years, is still out to kill and injure people. Their status as minesweepers has not been defined by the state and so, the feeling of constant uncertainty has become normal. However, not to the feeling of being a worker without a profession.

Young immigrants, having arrived alone in Switzerland. Elderly people, alone at Les Marronniers. In this continuing care facility in the Canton of Vaud, the artist François Burland decided to create an oversized engraving: with the young people, in the midst of the residents. For the length of a summer, they meet, tell their stories, share themselves.

More focused on the act committed than on the needs of those involved, penal justice has certain limitations. The film explores the difficult connection between victims trying to rebuild their lives and perpetrators disposed to taking responsibility. Restorative justice encourages the parties to manage their conflicts themselves, helping them to free themselves from their status. An intimate, emotional film in which the barriers between reality and fiction fade away.

written & directed by Daniel Howald 32

Martin was rejected and treated with coldness by his mother, and beaten and humiliated by his father: a childhood without love. The story sounds like a case study from the book “The Drama of the Gifted Child” by the world-famous Swiss child psychologist Alice Miller. But Martin is her son. After her death, he sets out to discover the drama behind everything: the Shoa, the annihilation of the Jewish people, from which his mother in Poland had barely escaped.
