synopsis
A tap dancer performs, while elsewhere people run from the tear gas of the police.
Two worlds apart ̶ if it wasn't for an unexpected opening in the floor, right in front of
the dancer... She decides to jump, and lands in the middle of the social protests in
Istanbul. The dancer witnesses the people's fight for personal freedom and living space,
and takes the opportunity to transform her dance into a statement of solidarity.
director
Eva Stotz studied Directing at the German Film and Television Academy Berlin. After

DokumentART Award) and broadcasted on German Television (3Sat). She directed an
episode of the zero one international TV production "24h Berlin". Her graduation film
"Global Home" (commissioned by German Television ZDF, supported by Medienboard

then has been invited to many international film festivals (Raindance London, Planete
