In the midst of the notorious Frankfurter Bahnhofsviertel, two people encounter who could not be more different: Monika, mid-40s, works as a curator and is therefore part of the city\u2019s art- and culture scene. As she unexpectedly gets into a police raid, she encounters Joseph, a Congolese businessman looking for investors for a diamond mine in Congo and who keeps afloat by doing some Import\/Export-deals every now and then. Eventually, their brief encounter results in an intense love story. But while both of them believe their relationship to be strong enough to stand against the influence of prejudices, mistrust slowly arises between the two of them, until their relationship becomes a battleground of postcolonial conflicts. Eventually, they will have to ask themselves if it\u2019s actually possible, to love at eye level?  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspired by the true story of her mother, Lisa Bierwirth questions how postcolonial structures and power relations can take influence in an European-African relationship. The story of her feature debut observes not only the pitfalls, but also the courage it takes to live a love life drawn between social conventions and exhibits Frankfurt am Main \u2013 somewhere between a world metropolis and a place of shady business deals \u2013 as the film\u2019s ambiguous third protagonist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film\u2019s renowned cast is led by Ursula Strauss (\u201cTatort\u201d, \u201cOktober November\u201d), the Rapper Passi Balende and Alex Brendem\u00fchl (\u201cDie Frau im Mond\u201d) and accompanied by Victoria Trauttmannsdorff, Hanns Zischler and the artist Douglas Gordon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The film will celebrate its world premiere in the competition of 2021\u2019s edition of the Karlovy Vary International Film Festival. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
