About

After her father's death, Michi returns to her parents' house with her daughter, where a child's drawing brings back her past.

After her father's death, Michi returns to her parents' house to settle the estate. She is a recovering alcoholic who left the family home long ago and has since started a family of her own. On this visit she is accompanied by her eight-year-old daughter, Hanna. She also tries to repair her broken relationship with her daughter. In the house, Michi finds a child's drawing that stirs up memories she has suppressed, and she is forced to confront a blind spot in her own past. Cornelia Ivancan plays Michi and Lola Herbst plays Hanna in Achmed Abdel-Salam's Austrian horror film.
