Synopsis: An experimental film essay investigating the cultural importance of cinema. In an age dominated by the moving image what would it feel like to never see an image of the place that you came from?
Inhalt: Ein experimenteller Filmessay, der die kulturelle Wichtigkeit der Filmkunst erforscht. Wie würde es sich im Zeitalter des bewegten Bildes anfühlen, wenn man niemals ein Bild des Ortes sehen würde, von dem man abstammt? Dies ist ein Film über Rekonstruktion und über die Ansicht , dass Filmkunst ein Ausdruck kultureller Identität ist… dass Film der Erinnerung erst Gestalt gibt.
