Expressive filmische Adaption des gefeierten Theaterstücks, von der Autorin höchstselbst, ein Vexierspiel über die traumatischen Erfahrungen britischer und amerikanischer Schwarzer
Wie verhält man sich als schwarzer Junge bei einer Polizeikontrolle am besten? Wieviel Geduld soll ein junger Mensch aufbringen, bis Wandel Wirklichkeit wird? Wie manifestieren sich Rollenbilder in unserem Alltag? Ein eklektisches Triptychon aus Skizzen, Monologen und Lesungen, gefertigt aus geschliffener Prosa, kraftvoller Darstellung und atmosphärischer Soundkulisse.
