The film tells the story of six people from Fondo Negro, a village in the southwest of the Dominican Republic. The region is particularly affected by migration. Some residents stay, others leave their birth places, still others leave but come back. All of them are attached to their homes and families; migration shapes the fate of each and every one of them.
Excerpt from the jury’s statement
What does it mean when a family is spread over several countries? In haunting images and carefully selected original quotes, the film shows the harrowing paradox of migration: someone leaves the family just to be there for them. The concrete urban landscape of Stuttgart and the colours of the Caribbean world are equally present. The film makes no moral judgements, but renders tangible the conflicting feelings with outstanding directing and camera work.
