Two people stand outside in the distance in long grass near a short fence with their hands behind their heads. Palm trees and large mountains in the distance under a cloudy sky.

“Vaterland” or A Bule Named Yanto “Vaterland” oder ein bule namens Yanto

  Berthold Wahjudi  |  Germany, Indonesia

When a mixed-race German and Indonesian young man visits his sister who has moved to Indonesia, he finds himself caught between two identities, not feeling at home in either. Beautifully shot and delicately portrayed, this complex exploration of mixed identity is as funny as it is heartbreaking.

This film screens as part of the Drama: We’ll Meet Again shorts program.
