What happens when a documentary fails to become the film it set out to be? During DokuFest’s Re:Connect program in Prizren, Kosovo, director Max Haller sets out to film Diti, a local hairdresser who dreams of building a future in Switzerland. But technical mishaps, constant interruptions, and a chaotic one-day shoot derail the original plan. Forced to improvise, the film transforms into a playful hybrid of documentary, behind the scenes diary, and mockumentary, where the filmmaking process itself becomes the story told through the perspective of an unexpected narrator: a boom michrophone.

Raised in a multicultural environment, he was surrounded by artists and musicians from around the world. His time in Kosovo challenged his previous perceptions, becoming an encounter with the country, its people, and the unexpected nature of documentary filmmaking.
