Tangerinn – Anechoum Emanuela (2025)

A powerful story by Italian author Emanuela Anechoum opens the theme of struggling children from ethnically mixed marriages, who, despite the tolerant West, find it difficult to seek personal outlets and their place in the world.

The main character Mina, the daughter of an Italian mother suffering from depression and a Moroccan father, faced slander from her surroundings in her native Calabrian town from a young age and suffered from the feeling of not belonging anywhere. Therefore, she spent the last six years in London, where she built a seemingly perfect life in a anxious attempt to become someone new.

When her father Omar suddenly dies, Mina returns to Calabria. Omar left behind the Tangerinn bar, frequented mainly by a diverse community of immigrants. In this unique place, Mina rediscovers her roots, meets new friends, and above all, must come to terms with memories of her father, who, like her, left his homeland in search of a dream life when he was young. But what if Mina didn't actually know her father at all?
