Sarah, the child of a Mozambican contract worker and an East German mother, grew up separated from her father, Eulidio, as he was forced to leave Germany after unification. She embarks on a trip to Mozambique and South Africa with her daughter Luana to visit her own father and the father of her child, Eduardo. Staying close to her protagonists, Ghanaian-German filmmaker Brenda Akele Jorde accompanies Sarah on her journey that seeks out parts of her identity as well as attempts to foster kinship for her young daughter, relationships that she herself lacked as a child. On the way, they meet madgermanes in Maputo, former contract workers in the GDR who were expelled from Germany in 1990. Their stories illuminate an overlooked part of German history and make visible their still-unfulfilled demands on the German state.
