Where and when does coincidence begin in a person‘s life, especially the coincidence of being born in a safe country? This essayist film is a close-up reflection on historic and current war, where recordings of catastrophe are juxtaposed with personal photos from the family album of a “carefree” Swiss family. “Coincidence” was created within the “Research Refugees” film collective project: short films showing eleven perspectives on refugees in Germany and Europe. The films tour Germany to encourage the open exchange of ideas and discourse.
