FREMD tells the story of a child. He is born in France to Shoah survivors. The family is stateless, homeless. A life in the diaspora. In the 1960s, the family immigrates to Germany. Of all places, to the country of the murderers who wiped out almost the entire family of the parents. The child feels a stranger. "I live somewhere in the middle of nowhere." How can one build a life in this place? What do people dream of here, and how do they look to the future in a place when the past lies like a veil over everything and the present means exclusion, racism, and anti-Semitism? The family sticks together. Perhaps sometimes it even holds on too tightly. The child feels responsible for their parents their entire life, remaining a child even when they are long grown up. The trauma weighs heavily on the family, not letting go. "If I am afraid of the stranger, how afraid is the stranger of me. And fear, fear is my companion in life." But the child survives and tries to continue dreaming.
