20,000 people work in a Chinese-run industrial park not far from Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa. And businesswoman Motta Ma has further ambitious plans: a second park is to be built to provide work for another 30,000 people in a country where almost half the population is under 18. But then the pandemic strikes and civil war breaks out in the African country, which was still full of hope. A gripping film about China's influence in Africa and how globalization is stumbling.

All about the power of images in film, pop culture, art and society. At FILM FESTIVAL COLOGNE from October 17-24, 2024 and always online.
