Anansi

From Ghana to a deserted coast - from Morocco to Spain - out of sheer desperation, a group of West Africans dare the perilous journey to Germany. But their path to the promised land of satellite dishes and a better life is strewn with obstacles.
In West Africa, the name "Anansi" means spider - a well-loved trickster. In numerous fables, this ancient mythical character successfully uses his charms and wits to turn utterly hopeless situations to his advantage. It embodies the survival strategies of a people who secure a future for themselves in spite of the most repulsive conditions. Anansi is an odyssey full of wonders and sacrifices, African mystic and a love that surpasses all borders. (press kit)
