SYNOPSIS:
The seahorse is a powerful animal: it stands upright in the water and cannot sink. Our brain hyppocampus, where all memory begins, is named after it: there we archive what we cannot forget.When the young Yezidi crossed the mediterranean sea with her family in a small rubber dinghy, she could not swim. The images of the deep blue sea and the fear of drowning are irrevocaly burned into her memory. To reconcile her past she learned how to swim. But the waters still awaits her with haunting images of the ocean. Seahorse poetically explores the contradictions and unpredictabilities of remembrance
