GLORIOUS EXIT
Jarreth Merz, a Swiss-Nigerian actor living in Los Angeles is summoned to Nigeria to bury his father. According to Nigerian tradition, the first-born is in charge of a father's burial. But who is this father? Although Jarreth accepts the responsibility, he struggles with the idea of beeing morally bound towards a family that he hardly knows and who has never been particularly interested in him? Thus starts a journey of self-discovery. By Kevin Merz, Nigeria/US/Switzerland, 2008, 75mins, documentary in English and German with English subtitles.
