    Synopsis

    On the first day of the Corona lockdown, the director's father is picked up by an ambulance. He dies shortly thereafter. Mother and daughter mourn in the parental apartment, isolated on 49 square meters — and connected to the outside world only by telephone.  With painful intimacy, these phone calls exemplify the loneliness of the mourners in pandemic times.
    27 STEPS thus leaves room for interpretation and deals with a universal question: How does isolation affect us when we are dependent on solace and help?
