Berlin Telegram, 80' (2012) Doc fiction
Synopsis : Leila is a singer-songwriter who lives in Brussels. When Antoine, the man she is in love with, suddenly walks out on her for another woman, she leaves for Berlin to start a new life. Before closing the door of her apartment for the last time, she films herself in a mirror, vowing, one day, to send Antoine the images of her new life. It will be her revenge. It's a musical road-movie that travels to Brussels, Berlin, Lisbon and Cairo with Leila as our guide. A story of crossing paths, re-learning to live, and opening yourself up to the world.

« A "lyrico-tourist" adventure. The thickness of the film is in the treatment of its fragility; film on the wire, like his tightrope character, on the verge of collapse. First film at once amazing and courageous, dreamlike and realistic in which Leila Albayaty pulls all the strings, directing, playing, composing and striving, above all, to break down the catatonic state that the ravages of passion bequeathed to her » CINEMANIA, April 2013 / By Serge Abiaad
