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.
