Synopsis: Our body remembers more than we can expect and imagine, our body remembers also the sorrow and pain of the predecessors. Our body sustains the stories of our parents and grandparents as well as their ancestors. But, how far back is it possible to go in your bodily memory?
Inhalt: Unser Körper erinnert sich an mehr als wir uns vorstellen oder erwarten könnten. Unser Körper erinnert sich auch an die Trauer und die Schmerzen unserer Vorgänger. Unser Körper trägt die Geschichten unserer Eltern und Großeltern, wie auch unserer Vorfahren in sich. Doch wie weit kann man in seinem körperlichen Gedächtnis zurückgehen?
