6.1
From Ghana to a deserted coast - from Morocco to Spain - out of desperate need, a group of West Africans dare the perilous journey to Germany. But their path to the promised land of satellite dishes and a better life is strewn with obstacles. In West Africa, the name "Anansi" means spider - a well-loved trickster. This ancient mythical character represents the survival strategies of a people who secure a future for themselves in spite of the most repulsive conditions. Anansi is an odyssey full of wonders and sacrifices, African mystic and a love that surpasses all borders.
