Described as "an elegiac ghost story in four chapters", Max Gleschinski's second feature film centres on Kerstin, a taciturn woman in her mid-40s, who had nursed her father for 20 years until his death and is now slowly finding her way back into life by embarking on a kayak tour through the Mecklenburg Lake Plateau. She is doing her utmost to keep to herself and only speak when really necessary – that is, until she meets Alima... - But then her estranged brother Thomas and his family also appear on the scene to confront Kerstin with some - for them - urging family matters and things start to get complicated. - Source: German Films Service & Marketing GmbH via www.filmportal.de
