Fremd, the FOREIGNER

Synopsis

A passport from the Kingdom of Prussia was found amongst a father's belongings which sparks the search for why the German great-grandfather was forced to migrate to the tropics back in 1873.
The complex and challenging civilization process for the whitening policy that was implemented in Brazil, by the then Portuguese Court, as well as the beginning of migratory movements and its effects they have in todays’ times are themes that are dealt with in this story.
