Sommerurlaub (Vaginale VII)

2011 • Directed by

Kurdwin Ayub

In this episode, the petite artist Ayub poses in front of an oriental curtain in a voluminous wedding dress, performing a playback of Lorraine Ellison's equally voluminous voice. "Remember you said you'd always gonna need me, remember you said you'd never ever leave me." Left alone in a room with relatives in Iraq, trapped in a cultural corset, locked in a "man's world," the brat becomes a heartbreakingly ironic soul singer.
