Louder than Words

25. April 16:30 – 18:30 | Waschhaus Kino 2

Louder than words gathers all its strength to tell of a tiredness that must constantly explain itself. Individual stories bring forth a strength that gives hope and encourages us to carry these voices forward. Louder than words are working hands, life experiences, resistance and signs of love.
