MOOD - BOARD SYNOPSIS An abandoned place in Transylvania. With great accuracy Astrid Rieger describes the geographical landscapes as well as the everyday duties the few people who stayed back there have to accomplish. It is a story about leaving and returning. One between a mother and her daughter. A story about the search for roots and about the feelings evoqued by the confrontation with deeply despised family patterns. In the reader's head a film with existential power arises. That's about the best a screenplay can offer.
