Episodes 1-3 of the “hilarious, heartbreaking series about two queer Afro-German friends” with creator Lamin Leroy Gibba in attendance

The German Film Office is pleased to host a screening of episodes 1-3 of the groundbreaking series Black Fruit, followed by a Q&A with series creator, lead, and executive producer Lamin Leroy Gibba. Please register to attend.

When Lalo is thrown off course by the sudden death of his father, he suppresses his loss with impulsive actions that disrupt his life. While he and his best friend Karla, both in their mid-twenties, queer and Black in Germany, try to shape who they want to become, they are forced to grapple with the limits of their adaptability.
Co-executive produced by Faraz Shariat and Paulina Lorenz (No Hard Feelings), Black Fruit celebrated its North American premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Festival.
