Sheena said: "I wanted to explore different perspectives on a change in the world order. 'The Others' speaks to current discourses on migration and belonging, through the personal dilemmas we will all recognise.”
The story is based around three young people in 1989 East Germany, as they’re drawn into a dangerous political moment.
