Nico
Directed by Eline Gehring (2019)
A young Black woman living in Berlin finds her comfortable, ordered life thrown into turmoil after she is the victim of a racially motivated attack. As she struggles to process her anger and a growing sense of displacement, she begins training in martial arts and is forced to confront deeper questions about her identity and where she truly belongs. The film offers a quietly observed portrait of racism in contemporary Germany and its psychological toll on those who experience it.
