Sehnsucht in Sangerhausen
Two women from very different backgrounds meet in a small town in eastern Germany: Ursula, a waitress longing for connection and meaning, and Neda, an Iranian video artist searching for traces of her past. They encounter enigmatic figures who awaken memories and raise new questions. Ursula feels drawn to a female musician from the big city, while Neda believes she recognizes an old friend from Tehran in a street sweeper. From these encounters, a fragile bond forms between the two women, leading them on a shared journey into the surrounding mountains - a ghost hunt where reality and imagination intertwine.
