Anke, a widow, is retiring from her job at her local church in the Black Forest. She arranges a reunion with her three children at a familiar spot by the Baltic Sea. But when she hears that her son, Max, is unable to join them as protests have brought his new home of Hong Kong to a standstill, Anke decides to visit him instead. Shot exquisitely on 16mm film, and featuring arguably the most beautiful cross-continental transition of the year, Jonas Bak’s debut feature is a meditative travelogue: an ode to facing one’s own fears and moving on.
