  • Panama, One Way | Oh, wie frei ist Panama?2021 | 15’ | GER

    The German martial artist Yve firmly believes that the coronavirus pandemic is a global farce. Since she started sharing her views with thousands of followers via her Instagram account, she has moved further and further into the fringes of society, losing not only friends but also her job in the process. Together with her boyfriend, she has decided to emigrate to a country where she believes she can live and speak more freely: Panama. In “Panama, One Way” we follow Yve during her last days in Berlin as she says goodbye to her dear ones – and delve into the life of a woman who has moved so far away from the social consensus that she is now willing to leave her people behind for good.
