Where Hands Touch
dir. Amma Asante · 2018
Love can flourish even in the darkest circumstances, challenging societal norms and prejudices.
"Where Hands Touch" poignantly explores the fragility of young love against the backdrop of a society torn apart by war and prejudice. With its intimate portrayal of a forbidden romance, this film invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of identity and the courage it takes to love in a world that forbids it.
Germany, 1944. Leyna, the 15-year old daughter of a white German mother and a black African father, meets Lutz, a compassionate member of the Hitler Youth whose father is a prominent Nazi soldier, and they form an unlikely connection in this quickly changing world.
