When people ask where you're from (2026)

Sonja Aigner, a South African‑born woman now living in Germany, receives the results of a consumer DNA test that reveals unexpected genetic connections across the globe. Through a series of intimate conversations, she reflects on what it means to claim a place of origin when biology, memory, and migration intertwine.

The short documentary follows her quiet investigation, letting the test results serve as a catalyst for broader questions about belonging, heritage, and the stories we tell ourselves about where we come from.
