Hazim and Said, two Syrian teenagers, arrive in Germany in 2015. There, they are taken in by a family whose son, like Said, uses a wheelchair. Over the next ten years, the two young men from Syria will gain a new family and get to know a different culture, whilst simultaneously coming to terms with the past and the lives they left behind. Lust for Life introduces us to two people – somehow truly fortunate in all their misfortune – who may have been violently uprooted, but they were at least blessed by the kindness of strangers. A profoundly moving documentary that never has to fall back on sentimentalism or emotional exploitation, reminding us that unconditional love is the only home we never truly lose.
