Synopsis 

NL | DIMITRIJ Liebermann (18) is joods en sloeg Tobi in het gezicht. Nu moet hij zijn excuses aanbieden. Maar Dimitrij heeft niet bepaald medelijden. Terwijl hij op weg is om Tobi te ontmoeten, ontmoet hij een diverse vertegenwoordiging van de Duitse samenleving. Dimitrij wordt keer op keer geconfronteerd met één worsteling die hij moet overwinnen: zijn Duits-Joodse identiteit. Een analyse van de status quo.
