Synopsis
Berlin, an 87 year-old woman, alone in her flat. The same daily routine, every day unlike any other. Chats with her teddy-bears on chores. World news in 2009, weather forecasts in 1989. Mosquito bites. How it aches to be old. Whatever happened to the postbox key? On the street snow. This woman - my grandma. Twenty years, she reconfigures the dailies in her diaries - breaking world stories, catastrophes, the zoo. Here and there, jotted shopping lists, a hair dresser's appointment. Filming her, I try to sort through what is left. The blackbox of her memory is also my story.
