A critical look at German missionary work in Namibia, which played a major role in the colonization of the country in the 19th century. Two young filmmakers from Namibia and Germany embark on a personal and historical search for traces of the missionaries in present-day Namibia. Both were raised as Christians but now have many critical questions and reservations, particularly regarding the spread of Christianity. Their countries are connected by a dark past—German missionaries are now considered pioneers of the colony of German South West Africa, present-day Namibia. On their journey, there are many encounters, archival discoveries, and, in the end, even more questions.
