A work about identity, a place and its stories. Inspired by the video material of Adele Kraft. I grew up in a ditch in the north of Carinthia. At the age of 17 I left. I didn’t want to speak my dialect anymore. Then I started to listen again when stories from the place were told and to observe how nature changes over time and how the houses and farms disappear. This film is a requiem for a place that, marked by past existences, is slowly transforming back into the forest it once was. Stories of death are told. Accompanied by a Carinthian song, the film rediscovers its own language and origin, reveals the repressed and uses this conflict to deal with the unrecognisability of one’s own identity.
