Anke was looking forward to a family reunion with her children to celebrate her retirement. When her Hong Kong-based son Max cancels his trip, she decides to visit him instead. So begins an unhurried solo travelogue, during which Anke makes deep connections with local residents, as well as herself.
Linking Germany’s Black Forest to the high-rises of Hong Kong, Jonas Bak’s stunning travelog ponders the fragility of family bonds. Guided by an elderly widow’s path through a new political reality, the 16mm cinematography and Brian Eno’s hypnotic track “New Space Music” radiate timelessness.
