Two women meet in Sangerhausen: Ursula, a waitress with a broken heart, and Neda, an Iranian YouTuber with a broken arm. Ursula unexpectedly falls in love with the mysterious musician from the big city, while Neda is convinced that she has recognized an old friend from Tehran in an equally enigmatic street sweeper. The twisted paths of chance lead the two women to a ghost hunt in the mountains... In the new film by Julian Radlmaier (BLUTSAUGER - EINE MARXISTISCHE VAMPIRKOMÖDIE), the main characters stumble together through a place of contrasts, take on the ghosts of the past and share dreams that are older than they realize. A small East German town becomes the setting for a story about cohesion and community, about Germany and its workers and the longing for a different life. Stills © Grandfilm
