Wie is er bang voor Sylvana
It is 2075. The Netherlands changed. What was once far-right is now the norm. Politics is masculine and starkly white. Progressive voices have disappeared, and resistance seems futile. Then, Clarice Leeuwin steps into the House of Representatives. As the first Black female party leader since Sylvana Simons, she wants to bring a different voice, but she constantly faces a wall of misunderstanding.

Wie is er bang voor Sylvana
As Clarice tries to find her way in a political battlefield with growing obstacles, her great role model appears: Sylvana Simons – as a guide, mentor, and fearless fighter. Is Sylvana a memory, a hallucination, or the only truth that remains?
-|-
In a world where her voice is ignored and her struggle dismissed, Clarice faces an impossible choice. During a crucial debate, she decides to use her last weapon: the power of the 'angry black woman.' But at what cost?
