These films are part of a series of documentary shorts on LGBTQ+ migration and refuge. They tell the story of a protagonist who was forced to leave Nigeria to save himself and his love. Part I: Refuge tells the journey of an African gay refugee seeking asylum in Germany. In Part II: The Kiss, an African refugee visits the Gay Holocaust Memorial in Berlin. The film is a performance exploring the romance and terror of a simple kiss.
