Sünopsis

How to deal with the overwhelmingly unbearable absence of someone who was an integral part of your life for a long time? When the physical embodiment of unconditional love has transformed into nothing but memories, a ghost, it might be wise to try and make friends with this new everyday companion. This film is a poetic journey through the inner world of a grieving filmmaker who tries to find solace in talking to her Ghost. The narrative voice gives rhythmical simplicity to the otherwise complex emotional experience. Different stages of grief are visually linked to seasonal changes in nature, from the end of summer to early signs of winter. The scenery and wildlife reflect the narrator’s mindscape.
