Lola auf der Erbse is a character-driven family drama that uses a cross-cultural friendship to explore social cohesion. The primary narrative engine is the relationship between a local girl and a Kurdish immigrant student. The film succeeds in incorporating a migrant perspective, offering a meaningful look at integration within a domestic setting. However, it lacks depth in other areas of representation, such as LGBTQ+ themes and disability inclusion.
