A House in Berlin

Synopsis

A woman discovers that she has a distant but personal relationship to a historic building in Berlin and embarks on a journey into the past. One that turns out to be much more alive, ambiguous and unpredictable than expected. A contemporary visual quest at the intersection between fiction and non-fiction.
