Neighbor to distant light (AT)
Berlin, Deutschland
Three women in an abandoned place, taking refuge from an unknown disaster happening outside. A disaster, which only becomes clear through sound. At the beginning of the film, one of them leaves the place. We stay with the other two, and observe how they try to reconcile with the constant state of terror, which surrounds them, in a non-place, which they don’t belong to.
Towards the end of the film, the one who left returns wounded and bleeds to death, making it impossible for one of the remaining two women to stay behind in the state of uncertainty. She decides to leave, and this time we leave with her. Despite all the sounds, we are at the middle of Berlin.
Every day life goes on, but not for those who hear and see just that, which is far away.
