Anima: My Father's Dresses

Little Uli wants to be a pirate or a pope, but under no circumstances does she want to fit into the role stereotypes of her Bavarian hometown. After her father's death, her mother gives her his “secret” box as an inheritance. The contents abruptly change her view of her father, herself, her family and the society in which she grew up. A true story about family secrets, gender issues and the trials of love – told as a rollercoaster ride through animated and documentary imagery. An extraordinary reflection on family ties and uncomfortable truths. The intimate story of a father-daughter relationship about freedom and the search for identity. An important contribution to the questioning of role models and gender issues within tradition-conscious structures. A documentary with a lot of charm and socio-political relevance.
