Stuttgart, Allemagne. Un simple contrôle de ticket dans le tramway déclenche le drame: Frederic Otomo, demandeur d’asile d’Afrique de l’Ouest, est saisi par la panique et prend la fuite après avoir bousculé les agents qui venaient de l’interpeller. La chasse à l’homme commence… Un film qui explore le racisme institutionnalisé, la xénophobie et la déshumanisation qui en résulte.
Film basé sur une histoire vraie.

Otomo
A powerful film portraying institutionalized racism and police brutality, Otomo provides a convincing look at the everyday world of refugees, who are continuously surrounded by tension and insecurity. In the summer of 1989, a Stuttgart newspaper reported the true story of a West African asylum seeker who physically assaulted an intolerant subway ticket-taker; fled, and became the target of a city-wide manhunt. Otomo is a sober, fictionalized reconstruction of a tale that shocked Stuttgart, and a gripping portrait of how institutionalized racism drives a disempowered individual to violence and inhumanity.
West African immigrant Frederic Otomo (Isaach de Bankole) lacks the proper papers to be hired for the most menial of jobs; he has survived for eight years with the help of a Catholic charity. Otomo is the target of verbal abuse, is thrown out of his boarding house, and even scorned by neighborhood dogs. He feels and looks out of place. A stoic bubbling pot of wrath on the run, de Bankole’s performance establishes Otomo’s essence without words-language cannot express the gravity of his situation. As a ticking soundtrack counts down his fated minutes, Otomo is helped by a kind, aging hippie and her granddaughter, establishing the potential for an inclusive German society….if it is not too late…
