Krokodile ohne Sattel
Britta Wandaogo
Kaddi Malika is doubtful about everything: even her selfawareness is crumbling. She thinks of the end of the world and a life in heaven with cinemas and shopping malls. Also, in the course of the mind game she plays – »What would be if?« – she mixes the foreign with the familiar and turns the past into present. We see her as a child visiting relatives in Burkina Faso, at home in Cologne and in an unspecified place where she seeks answers to the question of what she actually likes about herself.
