    • Synopsis
    • In the German city of Ludwigshafen on the Rhine river lives a man who fixes cars in his own car shop while at the same time being king to over 200,000 people in Ghana. King Céphas Bansah, who has lived in Germany since 1970, governs his people from Ludwigshafen. He travels to West Africa several times a year to check on his aid projects and to be available to people on site. His daughter Katharina (38), whose mother is German, was born and raised in Ludwigshafen. She is a free-lance graphic designer, a feminist free spirit, an artist, hippie and: a king's daughter. In recent years, father and daughter have been experiencing a growing hostility towards them from the white German majority society. Their reactions to that experience could not be more different. He - the exotic majesty - thinks assimilation and gratitude are key to successful integration. He successfully finances major essential aid projects in Ghana with the help of German donors. She, on the other hand, is sick and tired of proving to be 'German enough': "I have tried everything. But it's never enough. And if it isn't enough, I don't want it to be enough. If that's the case, I have to find other solutions for my life." Father and daughter go on a journey together. For the first time after many years, Katharina accompanies her father to his kingdom in Ghana. She wants to get back in touch with that part of her identity, she wants to recharge her spiritual batteries and figure out if she wants to succeed to the throne someday. On this intense journey, Katharina sees her father with new eyes and realizes the meaning her Ghanaian side has for her life - and which it does not.
