New Directors Competition
A filmmaker completes his debut film: a reflection on his parents` assumed monogamous long distance marriage as well as his own Nigerian background and identity. He thereafter accidentally discovers his father`s secret; a second family throughout the last 30 years. This revelation sends the filmmaker on a new quest, now focusing on his Danish mother and his newly acquainted Nigerian half brother. Moving fluidly between Denmark, Nigeria, Canada and USA, the film gently unfolds as a poetic and psychologically complex exploration of the meeting between western and African concepts of love, relationships and family.
Presented at the Perspektive Deutsches Kino section of Berlinale and at CPH:DOX.
