Heimsuchung

Berlin based film maker Henrike Meyer visits the house of her family after her grandmother past away. A survey of the proximity and distance between the author and her family. The old farmhouse lies in North Germany. Surrounded by fields and sheep. A place, that appears intimate and mysterious at the same time. Children are running through the house. A dinner service on the table. Grandmother Lulu has died. Her belongings are given out, the bed room is being painted. A barking dog. The nightingale sings. A clock is ticking. Flying sparks at night. Conversations with the mother about dealing with illness, ageing and death. About care and dignity. A visit of a friend in a nursing home. Come by at midnight - a lullaby and a strange message on the answering machine: Am I here? - Home can also be uncanny.
