Amma & Appa (89 mins)
English & German with English Subtitles
A documentary on the culture clash between India and Germany, Amma & Appa—Tamil for Mother and Father—tells the story of two married couples—both around the same age, both married for more than 30 years; yet from totally different cultural settings: Bavaria and Tamil Nadu. They come together because their children have fallen in love and want to shoot a documentary film about this meeting of cultures. Amma & Appa is a humorous and sensitive exploration of the biographies and love stories of two (actually three) couples, who are so different but only at first glance.
