Akosua is a queer, Ghanaian-German, polyamorous woman who wants a child. She divides her time between three cities: Berlin, her main home with partner Nana; D\u00fcsseldorf, where she grew up and where her parents live; and Accra, where she hopes to build a future, possibly with her Ghanaian partner, Isaac.
\nOver the course of three years, Akosua\u2019s best friend\u2014and the film\u2019s director\u2014Mala Reinhardt documents her journey, sometimes appearing in front of the camera herself. While Akosua searches for a way to become a parent, Mala unexpectedly finds herself pregnant during filming. In conversations with her father, Mala, Nana, Isaac and Ghanaian performance artist and LGBT activist Va-Bene Elikem Fiatsi, Akosua explores what it means to be both Black and queer.
\nThe film resonates on multiple levels, allowing viewers to share key moments with Akosua and the people in her life \u2013 such as Nana\u2019s name-change appointment. This intimacy is reinforced by Antonia Kilian\u2019s camera work and Katharina Vo\u00df\u2019s editing. As the documentary unfolds, Mala increasingly takes on a dual role, both behind the camera and as a subject within the film, becoming a protagonist herself. Together, the two women share experiences and emotions as daughters of a German and a non-German parent; they reflect on their friendship, their identities and the ways they navigate the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":40348,"template":"","movie_year":[755],"movie_genre":[85],"movie_cat":[],"festival":[],"class_list":["post-45107","movie","type-movie","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","movie_year-755","movie_genre-documentary-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
