KENZA NAVIGATES HER WAY BETWEEN TRADITION, NATURE SPIRITUALITY AND MODERNITY
“The wind is always with me”. It is a blustery world in which Kenza lives on the small Caribbean Island of Curaçao. The 11-year-old misses her dead mother. While grandpa Weljo tells her about the world of spirits who influence everything with their magic, father Ouira is very strict. How wonderful would it be if Kenza could use magic to have her mother around her again – but is there any truth to grandpa’s mystical stories? The calmly depicted film radiates the power of magical realism, immerses itself into the visible and invisible, and accompanies the girl on her path between tradition and future.
