Golden Bear for Best Film
2024
The documentary awarded the Golden Bear at the 2024 Berlinale. The journey of 26 plundered royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey exhibited in Paris, now being returned to Benin.
November 2021. 26 royal treasures from the Kingdom of Dahomey are about to leave Paris to return to their country of origin, the present-day Republic of Benin. Along with thousands of others, these artefacts were plundered by French colonial troops in 1892. But how will the homeland, whose path has been dramatically altered over several decades, receive them? The debate rages among students at the University of Abomey-Calavi.
