During their holiday in Corsica together, Katrin learns from her long-time lover Jürgen that he is ending the relationship and choosing his family.

He falls in love with her and pulls her into a whirlpool of emotions. Your journey into the interior of the island is at the same time a journey into your own inner being.

Reviews

“Dominik Graf shot with IT technology, but thwarted its spontaneous documentary possibilities with too much symbolism and style. In spite of the excellent performance of the actors and some great directorial moments, the tragically-mythically charged film is increasingly losing credibility, so that the aesthetic concept does not seem stringent.
