In this film about memory and self-awareness, Engelmann tells her personal story about growing up in the vanishing “Danube Swabian“ culture. She explores her family background and cultural origin on various different levels. The film focuses on the concept of home as either a simple geographical place or as a more complex inner, emotional place. This experimental film is both a philosophical and a humorous take on a multiple cultural identity in the context of contemporary society.
