"Unsere Zeit wird kommen" von Ivette Löcker

After years of uncertainty and involuntary exile, Siaka from Gambia and his wife Victoria have returned to their “homeland” Austria to build a stable existence and start a family. For over a year, Ivette Löcker accompanies the couple, whose longing for carefree love and the feeling of arrival are not being fulfilled without meeting a certain amount of resistance.

The two of them invest a large part of their energy in achieving their shared utopia, but cultural differences remain significant, social structures remain immobile, and their own history and traditions are just as hard to shake off.

“Racism is a sickness. A sickness for the human society. A sickness that will never cure. Unless you use your power to stop it.” Löcker knows how to use her position as a documentarian effectively. Her multi-layered portrait of a relationship that shakes up hegemonic notions unfolds, but not without ambivalences, always provoking reflection on our own prejudices.
