Sünopsis

A poem with a melancholy undertone about solitude and longing. We see a row of windows of an apartment building. Individual windows at first – some windows are dark, some are open and people bustle about, living, being born, dying, splitting up, rejoicing, being sad. We briefly see around twenty tiny incidents in the lives of various people – as much as can be seen through an open window or an opening in the curtains. This is perhaps only a completely insignificant and random moment, but nevertheless, if we imagine further, we can guess what might subsequently happen. We see in our mind’s eye how people’s fate starts to branch out further, and all that could still happen. Finally, moving away from the windows, all that remains of these windows and the lives behind them are but little light points in the black night sky – and stars are naturally distant and inaccessible. They are incomprehensibly mysterious, just like perhaps the ordinary person living in the flat next door.
