Synopsis
Filmmaker Claudia von Alemann returns to the place of her early childhood memories: her parents' home in Seebach/Thuringia, from which the family fled after the war. The diary of her mother and old photographs lead her into the past. We learn about a successful harvest in 1942, about the years of the war, the approach of the Russian troops and her grandmother's flight in November 1945. The filmmaker's mother followed a month later and took the children with her.But Claudia von Alemann not only contemplates the past, she also includes the present. After the war, her parents house was turned into a children's' home. The story of past losses and the childrens' dreams and hopes for the future complement each other.
