Short synopsis

The documentary tells a story about an ageing Afro-Finnish woman Oge Eneh who moved to Finland from Nigeria 35 years ago. She ends up in a vacuum after she loses her job as a cultural producer after 18 years. Oge’s story about ageing and loneliness builds a bridge to the very core of humanity: our need for love, respect and belonging. Oge’s dream has a strange name. It is called Integration. The film is spiced up with Finnish melancholy and black humour.
