Hammer and Compass in Mozambique. During a demonstration in Maputo, the GDR flag waves, carried by „Madgermanes,“ contract workers who once toiled in East Germany. Some started families there, like Eulidio. His daughter Sarah grows up with her mother Ingrid in Berlin. Her relationship with her „second home“ only blossoms gradually. This is also thanks to Luana, Sarah's baby, whose father Eduardo also hails from Mozambique.

Eulidio's memories of the Lubmin nuclear power plant are still vivid. Today, he fries fries in Springs, South Africa. Sarah, meanwhile, knows her father only from a photograph for a long time. As an eleven-year-old, she meets him for the first time and feels how comfortable she is among people whose skin is as dark as hers. As an adult woman, she decides to spend a long time in Mozambique – and meets Eduardo. On her return flight, she is pregnant. THE HOMES WE CARRY paints a portrait of a family torn apart by the turmoil of world history, situated between Germany, Mozambique, and South Africa, and shows the challenges that come with it.
