A Black angel watches Amsterdam, while documentary filmmaker Rafik M. Opti moves across the city, asking several inhabitants what Black freedom means to them. This yields miscellaneous portraits.
What does it mean to live independently as a Black citizen in Amsterdam? And which obstacles have to be overcome in the process? This is the starting point of this poetic documentary, inspired by Afrofuturism, in which filmmaker Rafik M. Opti moves across the capital on foot, asking members of different subcultures about happiness, independence and their vision for the future. The film smoothly strings these miscellaneous conversations together, producing a dynamic portrait of Black identity, when Black freedom is celebrated.
