Wanda, a 49-year-old atheist feminist from Vienna, faces her worst nightmare when her teenage daughter Nina announces that she has converted to Islam, that she is going to wear a headscarf, and that from now on, she should be called Fatima. Wanda’s world is turned upside down. To top it all off, her ex-husband becomes a father again, which only makes her wish for the good old times when her only problems were her daughter ditching school and smoking pot. Surprisingly, she finds a supporter. It’s Hanife - a mother of Nina’s friend Maryam - who, together with her parents, immigrated to Austria 35 years before in order to escape the outdated custom of women having to cover their hair. Together Wanda and Hanife embark on a comic search for explanations, a sense of belonging and identity. (Santa Barbara International Film Festival)
