I Plant My Hand in the Garden

Boris Hadžija, Hoda Taheri

Hoda, an Iranian refugee living in Berlin, is pregnant and in love with Boris, a queer gay man from Serbia. They decide to marry and raise the child, imagining a future on their own terms. As they prepare for the wedding and enter each other’s worlds, all the red tape and family expectations test their relationship. Surrounded by relatives, memories and inherited ideas of love and parenthood, they begin to question the roles ahead. What starts as a plan to become a family turns into a more intimate question: can they reinvent what it means to be a couple without losing what brought them together?
