Synopsis

After 20 years, MONI returns home to her sister SILKE who has been attacked by a stranger. Moni is willing to do anything possible to find the attacker and to protect her sister.
But is that really what Silke wants? And if so, who is actually the one to be protected? And above all, protect from who? And which role does the offender René play, who doesn’t even understand why he did it?

A melancholic tragicomedy that plays with three different perspectives and constantly reinvents itself while searching for answers.
