Reviews

“We are honoring a very personal documentary film essay that opens our eyes to the changing juxtaposition of foreignness and familiarity, of doubt and self-encouragement on the way to adulthood. 'Chapeau' for the associative and sensual flow of narrative, which in impressive proximity to its young protagonist not only negotiates the big topics such as 'home' and 'identity' in an almost playful way, but also connects times, continents and attitudes to life. "

“Memories do not follow chronology - neither does Britta Wandaogo's film. Her 12-year-old daughter Kaddi thinks about the meaning of life and the role in her German and African families. The filmmaker finds material in her family film archive that makes long-forgotten qualities and strengths visible again for Kaddi. The very personal, almost intimate filmic dialogue between the pictures of the mother and the words of the daughter shows how memories can be cultivated and thus the here and now becomes more understandable. "

“From infancy to puberty, the mother's camera accompanies her daughter on visits to her father's home country. We follow the development of the identity of a young woman with roots in two continents. We are grateful that we can participate in the closeness between mother and daughter. An outstanding documentary achievement. "
