The life of Angelo, an African born in the 18th century and taken to Europe where he becomes first a servant, and later in an attraction for the Viennese high society, is the core of this film based in real events. Divided into chapters, the film follows the steps of the man who, by marrying a young worker, will suffer the rejection of the court, making him know that his character as stranger will not disappear. The sober narrative device and the careful atmosphere employed by the director Markus Schleinzer in his second feature film, configure an examination, historical as well as contemporary of the cultural integration, identity, the otherness, and racism.
