Heimsuchung (Visitation)
Three Germans do not want to accept the refugees assigned to them, but only their favourite refugee. But the three refugees are thwarting this plan. The new integration law has been enacted. From now on, Germans have to accommodate refugees in their own homes. A scheming elderly man, Mr Richter, convinces his townhouse neighbours, the open-minded Betti and the enraged citizen Mrs Rau and also the crooked housemaster of the refugee hostel, that it would be better not to have to accept their automatically assigned refugee, but rather to be able to choose the candidate that would suit them best. They may choose among three refugees: Djadi, who speaks German; Samira, who conceals her face behind a veil; and the aggressive Abbas. In the dark crawlway of the refugee hostel, the three refugees are subject to a torturesome interrogation. But Mr Richter's plan proves to be unsuccessful, as all three Germans opt for the same refugee: Djadi. Because the fight of the Germans is getting more and more malicious, the "favorite refugee" of the Germans should now decide with whom he wants to live in the future. But after Djadi brings the Germans to more and more absurd concessions, he ultimately shuns the decision and brings Samira and Abbas in. The start of fierce, often surreal-weird clash brings not only the stories and secrets of the refugees to light, but also reveals the secrets and abysses of the neighbors. In a bizarre way, the suburban idyll of the Germans is destroyed forever and the audience has to come to their own decision. —1meter60 Film
