    Desc: Finding Enok: Directed by Dorna X. van Rouveroy. With Maurice Boyer. In 1911 in the Dutch Indies, Emile van Rouveroy, a young Dutch planter, fathered a daughter with his housekeeper Enok, a local Sundanese girl of 15 years old. He legitimized her and raised Nelly, as she was called, in his (white) family. Nelly and her mother never saw each other again. 110 years later, 2 of his grandchildren, Dorna van Rouveroy and Maurice Boyer, are looking for traces of Enok, her fellow sufferers and descendants. They focus on what color and origin then and now mean, what it is to be an Indo, partly colored, in modern Indonesian and Dutch society. And what that means for someone's identity, to be in between 2 cultures.
