First of all, there is the undeniable history of violence and racism against Africans in Europe. Disenfranchisement and intersectional lifeĪlthough Kunle is obviously a cynical voice, he does raise some valid concerns that Sissie might have overlooked. Therefore, friendship is portrayed as an exchange of tools, because Marija teaches Sissie how to live successfully in Europe. She is constantly frustrated and challenged to succeed with no tools. When Sissie was lonely, Marija realized that it wasn't just because Sissie wasn't connected to a community in Europe (although that was a severe concern for Sissie), but also, Sissie doesn't understand life's flow and rhythm in this new place. That's what makes Marija such a wonderful, messianic character. She is suddenly trapped in a journey of survival and emotional adaptation. But when she arrives, she realizes that her very understanding of reality is going to have to be changed. She was competent, and after all, she was impressive enough to earn a scholarship to Germany, so that's something.
