A small East German town and stories of community and the longing for a different life

Two women meet in Sangerhausen: Ursula, a waitress with a broken heart, and Neda, an Iranian YouTuber with a broken arm. One summer evening, Ursula falls in love with a mysterious musician from the big city, while Neda is convinced that she has recognised an old friend from Tehran in an equally enigmatic street sweeper. The twisted paths of chance bring the two women together on a ghost hunt in the mountains...

In the new film by Julian Radlmaier (BLUTSAUGER, SELF-KRITIK EINES BÜRGERLICHEN HUNDES), the main characters stumble together through a place of contrasts, take on the ghosts of the past and share dreams that are older than they realise. A small East German town becomes the setting for a story about cohesion and community, about Germany and its workers and the longing for a different life.
