Clara is 39 and is completing a PhD in philosophy. She lives in a Berlin flatshare while her teenage daughter lives with her ex. Clara secretly develops a relationship with one of her students. Meanwhile, her doctoral supervisor, the independent Margot, provides her with professional encouragement. When Clara goes home to provincial Mecklenburg-Vorpommern for her mother’s birthday, she finds herself struggling both with her family's pride and expectations but also with their rejection. She begins to realise just how far she has moved away from her roots in her search for a self-determined life. Perhaps, though, she had to move away. Because one's perception of home can change.
Annika Pinske's quiet drama is a study in familiarity and distance, liberty and compulsion, the countryside and the city. Sensitive, nuanced performances from an outstanding cast with an assured command of the local dialects allow the audience to experience the atmospheres of both Berlin's university milieu and the rural family get-together.
