Half of the world
Nadir – father of an immigrant family – works night shifts as a cleaner in a Zurich office building. Despite having to work very hard he’s trying to
integrate himself in Switzerland and enable his son Babak a better future. One night after work he notices that the son’s room is empty. In the trash he discovers a thrown away letter from university, in the drawers he finds a torn up picture of his girlfriend and a Koran. When Babak finally arrives home the father confronts him with his findings and realizes that his son has had a change of heart he never thought was possible.
