She forms relationships with various men in attempts to find herself again.

None of them give her the answers she needs and ultimately, she is left to confront herself, and what's truly haunting her. Written and directed by Karen Gillan, this surreal coming of age tale is her love letter to her hometown.

Based on documents found in Berlin archives, 'Four Parts of a Folding Screen' explores exclusion, statelessness and the legalised theft and sale of everyday family possessions by the National Socialist regime.
