Un amour rêvé
A Dreamed Love
Als Kind ist Arthur fasziniert von der idyllischen Liebesgeschichte seiner Großeltern, einer wunderschönen kongolesischen Frau, die einen belgischen Siedler geheiratet hat. Kurz nach dem Tod seiner Großmutter entdeckt der junge Regisseur aber Familienaufzeichnungen, die seine Kindheitserinnerungen zerstören. Diese Aufzeichnungen sind der Ausgangspunkt für eine Recherche über das koloniale Erbe einer ethnisch gemischten Familie, deren Leiden unter einem Mantel des Schweigens verborgen waren.
As a child, Arthur is fascinated by the idyllic love story between his grandparents, a beautiful Congolese woman married to a Belgian settler. But shortly after his grandmother’s death, the young director uncovers some family records which shatter his childhood memories. These records form the starting point for an exploration into the colonial heritage of a mixed-race family, whose sufferings had been cloaked in silence.
