Kurdwin Ayub
A Mercedes is parked in front of a house, seems to be waiting, but the engine is not on. A girl walks by, approaches the door to the house. The driver puts his head out of the window, and makes her get in. “Go away, Dad, you are embarrassing”, says the girl — “I love you”, answers the father. But Dana is not swayed. She is on her way to her mother´s housewarming party. Her mother has just moved into her own apartment after the divorce.
