A boy and a girl are on a bus: two foreign siblings who will soon realise they are on their way to Cologne, far from their true and unknown final destination. It resembles the beginning of a «coming of age»tale, yet the reality is that we will never hear from them again. The prologue concludes leaving us with a sense of the unfinished, an unanswered question regarding the fate of these children, far from home and lost in another country. In this unconventional but effective manner, Stefan Koutzev introduces what will become his central story: that of Sori Moon, a young Korean artist living in Germany. Drawing from the lived experiences of both the director, the son of a Bulgarian immigrant, and the actor Juho Lee, «Why Hasn’t Everything Disappeared Yet» constructs a poignant narrative on the migrant experience. The trauma of a military past emerges through subtle gestures and the symbolism surrounding a protagonist who inhabits two places (or, perhaps, neither). The slow-motion quality of summer time sets the pace for a contemplative work that suggests more than it shows: from Sori Moon’s drawings and his conversations with others to that tree through which he seems to reach the sky, soaring like the aeroplanes we hear even when they remain out of sight.
