Ernesto Rafael Felice left his native Mozambique to study in East Germany, after which he ended up as a contract worker in Hoyerswerda, Bautzen. There he experienced first-hand the xenophobic riots of 1991, after which the majority of his fellow countrymen and women left the city. Felice persevered however, set up a business and started a family. This is his story. (FilmFestival Cottbus - Festival des Osteuropäischen Films)
