Where Hands Touch Remarkable. Insightful. Emotional 3 words that I choose to describe this amazing movie. Where Hands Touch is a historical Drama/Romance, that tells the life of an Afro European, biracial girl called Leyna (Amandla Stenberg). Who is daughter to a French, Senegalese father and German mother, Kerstin (Abbie Cornish). Like other black Germans in the period of Nazi Germany, even though they did not receive the same treatment as Jews, they were subject to a lot of oppression. The way to survive was to be sterilised and to have papers which Leyna had neither. Trying to stay lowkey, her family move to Berlin where she meets Lutz (George Mackay), who is a son of a Nazi Official( Christopher Eccleston) and they end up falling in love (I know right, yikes). Being set in the time of WW2, It forces us to see life from different perspectives, as do Amma Asante’s other movies. Honestly I don’t cry but I definitely teared up one too many times in that screening! Generalising
