Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Based on objects, photos, sound and film recordings, filmmaker Angelika Levi narrates what is—and isn’t—talked about in her family. Going through an extensive biographical archive, Levi uncovers the complicated life of her mother, Ursula, a woman of Jewish-German heritage who survived Nazi rule.
Alumna of Berlin’s most prestigious film school, Angelika Levi shot the first narrative film of her classmate, Angela Schanelec. Her own debut feature is a highly personal reflection on the Second World War, textured with the fragility of obsolescent technology and aching with poignant insight.
