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 in the Perspektive Deutsches Kino section at the Berlinale and at the CPH:DOX.
