The surf tosses sand on the beach, the wind blows it inland. Nothing remains as it is, or where it was. Everything is in motion: the 200-million-year-old sand, the dunes, the sea, and the countless creatures that make their home amongst its grains. Yet human interventions such as dikes, coastal protection measures, and sand filling have made the dynamic line between water and land inelastic and stiff.With: Prof. Dr. Karsten Reise, Dr Annkatrin Weber, Sabine Gettner, Björn Mehrtens, Monika Povel, Patras Scheffler

On the way to the island Neuwerk you pass the mudflat. A world in between absence and presence, water and land. The essayistic film approaches this transition zone from different angles and time periods.The millennia-old landscape of the Wadden Sea on the North Sea coast has been protected as a natural heritage site for decades and is now facing destruction more than ever.The essayistic short film examines how this uncertain transition in the Hamburg mudflats cannot be seen but can be imagined with images from an intermediate world in overlapping rhythms, flowing absences and presences, tides, seasons, migratory birds, locals and tourists.withAlin Bîrlean, Jürgen Busse, Sabrina Goldbach, Imme Flegel, Johanna Hieronimus, Eric Walter
