Mijn Kamer Is Mijn Beste Vriend (2007)

Mijn Kamer Is Mijn Beste Vriend plot

Documentary about young minor asylum seekers in the Netherlands. Young people with a hidden past and uncertain future, who suddenly appear in our daily lives and disappear from it almost unnoticed, while we have hardly any awareness of their 'state of being'. The documentary is inspired by a project carried out in schools in which these young people paint and paste a small wooden suitcase, sometimes with photos or small objects, containing their fondest memory expressed in a personal poem, in Dutch. By choosing the poems as the angle, the viewer immediately gets a glimpse into the inner world of the young people. The contrast between their daily reality on the one hand and their memories of a life they have already lived on the other, written down in their poem in a 'new language', is often poignant and not childish. In this way the position of displaced young people is highlighted in an unexpected and special way and the word 'integration' takes on a moving, unexpected dimension.
