About

A heartbroken East German waitress and an Iranian YouTuber with an injured arm are drawn into a mountain ghost hunt.

In a German summer, Ursula (Clara Schwinning), a waitress from East Germany whose heart has been broken, and Neda (Maral Keshavarz), an Iranian YouTuber with an injured arm, are both stuck in an uncertain life and feel alone. On one summer evening, Ursula becomes infatuated with an enigmatic musician from the city. Neda, meanwhile, is certain that a street sweeper she has seen is an old friend from Tehran, though he too remains hard to read. Chance keeps pulling the two women along and eventually brings them together for a ghost hunt in the mountains. Julian Radlmaier wrote and directed the German comedy drama, a romantic adventure about an unexpected friendship and the wish for a different life.
