Synopsis
“[The film] picks up the biographical pieces of a family torn apart through the end of the 19th and into the 20th century. (…) A collage of images, sounds, letters, diaries, notes, voices, fragments of time and space. (…) The material used in this film is what remains of my family. The remnants of those I knew, whose circumstances I had been part of or had otherwise experienced. Remnants that mirror history. A history that is just as much my own.” Thomas Heise
