Daddy’s Girl
Shortly after the separation of her parents, Gretchen goes in search of her absent father. Overwhelmed by communication with her loved ones, she plunges into the unknown. The film is a collage of portraits: encounters, people, places, voices that she meets on her journey. Always between memory, present moment and projection, between visibility and dissolution.
Daddy's Girl is a poetic approach to origin, loss and quiet becoming.
The film wants to tell a story that succeeds in shifting its gaze without comment. The film sees itself as an invitation to establish new viewing habits - away from the exception, towards the self-evident. What is the reality of a PoC in German-speaking countries? The film understands representation not as a statement, but as a lived reality. By focusing on people of color without explaining or problematizing, Daddy's Girl creates a space in which belonging does not have to be negotiated. So in the end, it's about more than visibility: it's about perspective. About the power of images that show a world as it is."
