Kristián Mensa is a dancer, artist, as well as a juggler of words, a true magician of simplicity and everyday moments. Even though as a little boy he created his own world – having a different skin color and experiencing barriers in communication, he created his own artistic language and dance style as a kind of shield around himself. With his mother, he sets out for Ghana to search for his roots, learns the truth, but also gains a foundation for his exceptional talent. After his return he qualifies for the world finals of the most prestigious dance competition in Paris. He has become the center of media attention and has received tons of offers. Nevertheless, a feeling of emptiness enters his life, resulting from the absence of an answer as to where his future lies in dance and in life.
