HAPPINESS IS WHITE ON PAPER

A table reservation by newcomer rapper ATA is declined due to racial prejudice. This leads to a physical altercation. Behind the scenes, AYMAN struggles to understand the rationale behind his character ATA's aggression, while the white director TILL seeks to escalate the moment. After several failed takes and AYMAN's growing doubts, TILL finally tries to justify the aggression by adding a racially charged phrase to the script. This catches AYMAN off guard in the next take and causes the situation to escalate behind the scenes. What begins as a harmless film scene turns into real violence on set.
