As if it Could

Dir. Ada Güvenir | Belgium

"As If It Could" is a semi-autobiographical story about borders and integration told through a metaphor of a plant. After realising her plant isn't growing as it should, Olive leaves her home and goes on a quest to find new grounds to let her plant re-root.
