Ivie’s self-perception is shaken when confronted with a half sister she didn’t know about, who tells her about their father’s funeral in Senegal. But this also opens her perception to the everyday racism she faces as an African-German; the kind that doesn’t even come from bad intent, but from ignorance, habit, or a certain strain of hubris.

An impressive first work tackling diversity and the search for one’s identity. Recipient of the 2021 German Film Award for best supporting actress and the Achtung Berlin Award for best cast, among other prizes.
