That was an impulse for my film, but it is not his story. I wanted to make a realistic film set in Denmark today showing how people live together.\u00ab<br \/>\n\u2013 Interview with Pia Bovin in: <em>Kinder- und Jugendfilmkorrespondenz<\/em> 95-3\/2003<\/p>\n<p>Axel had been looking forward to spending the summer holidays with his father, but he\u2019s too drunk and so he\u2019s obliged to stay at home with\u00a0 his mother and sister all summer long. One of the few attractions on offer is a singing competition at the local youth club. Axel is due to appear in the competition with Fatima and Annika \u2013 even though he\u2019s not at all enthusiastic about the idea. Axel finds his Muslim neighbours\u2019 sons and their fast cars far more appealing, but the young men just laugh at the little boy. And so, Axel decides to convert to Islam. Axel adjusts his life accordingly: he changes his clothes, drops pork from his diet and says regular prayers to Mecca. Ahmed is how he wishes to be known from now on, a name which neither his mother nor his sister are prepared to get used to. Fatima and Annika are not exactly bowled over by Axel\u2019s alias Ahmed\u2019s new-found religiosity either, because their brand new Muslim group member is finding it hard to rehearse in earnest for the competition. And when Fatima\u2019s parents place her under house arrest, it looks as though their dreams of competing are well and truly dashed. Nevertheless, they continue to practise somehow, even under these difficult circumstances. However, their ability to compete on the day itself all rests on the success of a trick which, if it succeeds, will get Fatima out of the apartment and help Axel feel like a real Muslim \u2013 albeit for a short time.<\/p>\n<p>Rated \u00bbhighly recommended\u00ab by the German Films &amp; Media Classification Board.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Awards for \u203aKald mig bare Aksel\u2039 (Selection)<\/strong><br \/>\nGro\u00dfer Preis der Internationalen Jury, Kinderfilmfest der Internationalen Filmfestspiele Berlin 2003 | Preis der Jury, Cinekid Festival, Amsterdam 2003<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":20490,"template":"","movie_year":[103],"movie_genre":[629],"movie_cat":[487],"festival":[565],"class_list":["post-20491","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-103","movie_genre-spielfilm-2","movie_cat-film-education-en-2014","festival-2014-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Wallah Be - Internationales Frauen Film Fest<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/frauenfilmfest.com\/en\/movie\/nenn-mich-einfach-axel\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Wallah Be - Internationales Frauen Film Fest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u00bbMy daughter was in the same class as a boy who converted to Islam when he was eleven years old.
