I love you more than my soul
"This movie goes straight to the heart and soul. It needs to be experienced by audiences worldwide. In this film, we see pain, love, the heartbreaking consequences of war, the joyful play amongst kids and their true wisdom. We get a glimpse of a special community with a huge heart. Gorgeous cinematography and the score was so playful which was the perfect tone for this film"
- Best international short film at Live at Heart 2019, Sweden
I love you more than my soul, is partly a documentary about children who have fled their countries but it’s also a film which, in a warm and honest way, describes life that just has to go on in spite of experienced traumas and shattered families.
