Director´s Statement
It is difficult to look away from the moon shining in the starry sky, but looking away is what we do as we turn toward the tragic reality of immigration to Europe. According to United Nations data, in the last seven years, more than 25.000 men, women, and children have died or gone missing in the Central Mediterranean.
The “Never again” sworn in front of the aligned coffins of the 368 people who lost their lives near Lampedusa on October 3, 2013, has remained only a declaration of intent.We look at the moon, but we turn away when it comes to looking at the tragedy of those who cross the Mediterranean in search of a better life.
Their basic human right to a home often goes unfulfilled and their search for a place to “feel at home” becomes an existential struggle. This is not just an African problem, or a problem of southern European countries; it is the responsibility of all of Europe.Alya comes from Africa and arrives in Europe following a dream: first a dream of her father’s and then a dream of her own. Mångata, “the road to the moon,” represents the long way to get there.
On the Moon, while communication with the base is interrupted, Alya has an encounter that helps her overcome her past trauma and make sense of her loss. Planet Earth is both Alya’s home and the starting point of Mångata, not just for her, but for all of mankind—of which Alya, with her aspiration and resilience, is a bright symbol.

É difícil desviar o olhar da lua brilhando no céu estrelado, mas desviar o olhar é o que fazemos quando nos voltamos para a trágica realidade da imigração para a Europa. Segundo dados das Nações Unidas, nos últimos sete anos, mais de 25.000 homens, mulheres e crianças morreram ou desapareceram no Mediterrâneo Central.
O “nunca mais” jurado diante dos caixões alinhados das 368 pessoas que perderam a vida perto de Lampedusa em 3 de outubro de 2013, permaneceu apenas uma declaração de intenções. Olhamos para a lua, mas nos afastamos quando se trata de olhando para a tragédia daqueles que atravessam o Mediterrâneo em busca de uma vida melhor.
Seu direito humano básico a um lar muitas vezes não é cumprido e sua busca por um lugar para “se sentir em casa” torna-se uma luta existencial. Este não é apenas um problema africano, ou um problema dos países do sul da Europa; é responsabilidade de toda a Europa.
Alya vem da África e chega à Europa seguindo um sonho: primeiro um sonho do pai e depois um sonho dela. Mångata, “o caminho para a lua”, representa o longo caminho para chegar lá. Na Lua, enquanto a comunicação com a base é interrompida, Alya tem um encontro que a ajuda a superar seu trauma passado e dar sentido a sua perda. O planeta Terra é o lar de Alya e o ponto de partida de Mångata, não apenas para ela, mas para toda a humanidade – da qual Alya, com sua aspiração e resiliência, é um símbolo brilhante.
