Naomi’s Journey

GER/Peru 2017, 92 min

A justice thriller of a different kind.

Synopsis

20-year-old Naomi lives a simple life with her younger siblings in Peru. Only her big sister seems to live a life of fortune, being married in Germany. But now she is dead, murdered by her German husband. Stunned by the news, Naomi can’t imagine accompanying her mother to Germany, the land of the crime. But then she changes her mind, becomes a joint plaintiff, and takes part in the trial in Berlin.

NAOMI’S JOURNEY based on a true story is part of Frieder Schlaich’s trilogy on migration and racism, which also includes his films OTOMO and CAUSE I HAVE THE LOOKS.
