Director: Dorothee Wenner, color, 80 min., 2012
Drama Consult initiated an ethnographic expedition from Africa to Europe. The protagonists are real businessmen from Lagos: an auto parts dealer, a real estate developer and a shoe manufacturer with ambitious plans. Accompanied by two business consultants, they make their way to Europe to meet future partners and investors in Berlin, Frankfurt and Hamburg. The film follows this process of economic intervention as an adventure in the age of globalisation.
