About

A white couple living in the German Democratic Republic in the 1960s, tells their Black child that her skin color is purely by chance and has no meaning. This is also what the girl prefers to believe, until she accidentally discovers the truth as a teenager. In an intimate portrayal but also critical exploration filmmaker Ines Johnson-Spain brings together painful and confusing childhood memories with an examination of social and political implications, that testify a culture of rejection and structural racism.
