»I like strong characters, as long as they are not too perfect. Binti is the heroine, but she is also a girl of flesh and blood with her weak sides. Yet, in this film it is the kids who come up with solutions, while the parents keep muddling through.«
Frederike Migom

Twelve-year-old Binti dreams of becoming a famous vlogger and goes nowhere without her mobile phone. She lives in Europe with her father, who was born in Congo, but still has no official residence permit. When Binti meets the shy Elias by chance, she hatches a plan. In the meantime, Elias is busy trying to protect the endangered African forest giraffe. »Lots of okapis live all over the world today. They have forgotten their homeland but are still searching for freedom.«
