Southside with You

On a sunny Sunday morning in Chicago in the year 1989 the young, confident attorney Barack Obama makes his way to his attractive and ambitious superior Michelle Robinson. For him, it is their first date, while for her, it is nothing more than a meeting between colleagues, however; she reluctantly plays along. Not only does she end up accompanying Barack to the municipal assembly, but also to an art exhibition, a trip to the park and lunch. As the Obama era draws to a close at the White House, SOUTHSIDE WITH YOU allows us to witness the president’s and first lady’s initial spark of love – charming, cheeky, witty and with a powerful soundtrack by Johnny Legend.
