Book tickets

Ursula and Neda, an East German waitress with a broken heart and an Iranian YouTuber with a broken arm, both feel trapped and lonely in their precarious lives.

One summer evening, Ursula falls for a mysterious musician from the city, while Neda is convinced that she recognised an old friend from Tehran in an equally enigmatic street sweeper. The winding paths of chance draw the two women together on an unexpected ghost hunt in the mountains.

A romantic adventure film about an unlikely friendship and the longing for another life.
