When Lalo is thrown off course by the sudden death of his father, he suppresses his loss with impulsive actions that disrupt his life. While he and his best friend Karla, both in their mid-twenties, queer and Black in Germany, try to shape who they want to become, they are forced to grapple with the limits of their adaptability.
Three episodes from this groundbreaking series will be shown, followed by an in-depth conversation with series creator, lead, and executive producer Lamin Leroy Gibba.
About the Goethe Forum
Presented by the Cultural Programs of theGoethe-Institut San Francisco, The Goethe Forum provides a platform for exploring contemporary socio-political issues through diverse voices and perspectives. Each year’s screening is chosen for its ability to challenge, empower, and spark meaningful exchange. While the film selected for The Goethe Forum may leave us with more questions than answers, they undeniably compel us to confront and critically engage with the future of our pluralistic societies and the pressing issues that define them. This presentation of “Black Fruit” is supported by the cultural and education programs of the Goethe-Institut San Francisco.
