Eine kleine

The city of S., Szczecin, after 1945: its ordinary German citizens leave, and the city's history goes with them. Fifty years later, someone takes the traces they left as an obligation to tell their story, since they no longer can. As in music, each part brings in a new theme and a new character, and an orphan who can fly like Peter Pan and refuses to grow up holds them together. The narrative is deliberately broken and discontinuous.
