the film is called afufu. it tells the story of a day in the life of an african housemaid, grace, who works for and lives with a wealthy, white, american family. the family's home has become a veritable museum of african artworks and these, combined with the intimate moments she's been stealing with the father, of course make grace feel objectified herself. when grace accidentally breaks one of the african sculptures—afufu—on display, conflict ensues. the film questions where the lines of cultural appropriation are these days – can the owners see through their own acts of misperceived benevolence and cultural celebration to the harm they are in fact doing? similarly can grace come to terms with why she feels she's surperior to her family back home?
