Europa
2004, 04:04
A woman, dressed in seemingly traditional costume, is singing a song in which she expresses her qualms about joining the EU, hoping for a better future in solitude. Her duplicate, on the contrary, is more than willing to bargain away for a membership. But finally, after finding something disturbing at the bottom of her dowry chest, she realizes the true consequences of the membership.

Africa
2007, 4:34
A seemingly “native” woman, sitting outside her hut, is preparing a meal for her guest.
The guest, a white female lying on her sickbed, is ambiguously accepting the favours given her
by her hospitable hostess. The “medicine” provided for her illness however, does not

aspects of the post-colonial relationship Europe- Africa in the face of illegal immigration
