    • Synopsis
    • "Wanderlust, female bodies in transit" is an autobiographical documentary which accompanies two women on their journey by land and water from Cairo, Egypt, to Berlin, Germany. Two women from different countries (Argentina-Germany), in search of themselves, new experiences and different ideas about life. Two women who hardly know each other, but who decide to embark on this long trip together.
      Throughout their journey they investigate the "female body in transit", their own corporal experiences and the perception and representation of their female bodies at border crossings. Interviews between themselves and with other people they meet on their journey guide their investigation into different problems, joys and assumptions associated with being a female traveler. Although it is a film about exploring what is outside ones "comfort zone", it seeks to offer a different approach to travel representations than male-dominated, mainstream filmic production that too often exoticizes and eroticizes non-Western cultures and places. Focusing on the female perspective of crossing places and spaces, the documentary emphasizes how the experience of traveling with a woman's body is different from traveling with a man's body, while making clear that the female travel experience does not exist.
      The documentary offers a narrative constructed from two points of view, two perspectives, two cameras, two voices. It is a dialogue constructed as a travel journal, which recounts a joint journey through Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Cyprus, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Germany.
      Wanderlust is a filmic journey that invites you to take a leap and, to discover, as few films do, the beginning of a friendship between two women.
