Berlin in the summer: Greta. 40, architect, mother of a 12-year-old son, recently unemployed. She does everything in her power to keep hanging on in there, torn between the pressure to conform and the spirit of contradiction.

Through the episodes of a 40-year-old woman’s crisis The Drifter provides a commentary on the social pressures and expectations relating to employment, parenthood, and womanhood imposed by our post-modern capitalist society. An eccentric and whimsical critique on emancipation and conformity.
