Inspired by my mother’s journey as a Brazilian immigrant in Germany in the 1980s, this project is very personal to me. I often witnessed how xenophobia does not exist only in obvious forms, but also in what remains unspoken, in what happens between the lines.

I wanted to highlight these subtle nuances, the small gestures and underlying attitudes that many people are not sensitized to recognize, where it often already begins. By bringing attention to these moments, the film aims to create a deeper awareness of how racism can operate quietly yet persistently.
