The question of foreign aid polarises – an experience filmmaker Christine Moderbacher makes when she, her father and his friends accompany their parish minister to his home village in Biafra, Nigeria, to help with the construction of a school. As ongoing independence efforts cause a hostile environment, they are rarely allowed to leave the premises. Caught in the role of „the helper“, Moderbacher feels increasingly uncomfortable, something her father cannot relate to. A film full of humanity and interpersonal relationships which questions the concept of foreign aid and also allows for a little grin over dusty neo-colonial ways of thinking.
