Tracing Addai

About Tracing Addai

In 2013 Addai joins a salafistic group in Syria. The encounter of Addai's mother with Ilias, a homecomer from Syria, gives rise to invidual fragments, by means of which the story of the son and comrade can be traced.

Esther Niemeier's Tracing Addai is a 2018 animation film. Benito Bause appears as Addai in Syria, and Kais Setti as Ilias.

It runs 30 minutes and was released in March 2018. Written by Britta Strampe and Esther Niemeier.
