Based on real events, this surprising debut feature film is as powerful as it is poetic in its indictment of everyday racism in Germany.
Amal, Omar, and their son Ahmad are a happy Arab family living in Germany. At the playground, they encounter a man named Franz. The situation gets out of hand when Franz insults and attacks Amal because of her headscarf. The case goes to court, but an incident during the hearing changes everything for the family.
