Maleeq was born in Kosovo in 1981 and, in the winter of 1989/1990, fled to Germany as a child with his parents and four sisters. The first few years were marked by the fear of deportation, living in emergency shelters, and incomprehension in the face of a foreign language and environment. A difficult time. Maleeq learned to live on a level that we usually only know from fiction. These years were brutal, repulsive, and fascinating all at once. Authentic reports from an unknown world, just down the street. During the intensive work on the new project, we learned more and more details about Maleeq's past. We asked for his permission to interview him – without a script, just an honest conversation. Maleeq agreed after a short deliberation.
