action
The young mother Kathi wants to establish herself professionally as an actress in Berlin , which she finds difficult to implement due to her slowness and family problems. She regularly applies for auditions to get a role, but only receives rejections, which has to do with her lack of talent. She mirrors the opposite of her mother Chris, a life coach who smiles at Kathi's doing. However, she is now a single parent and has an adolescent son, Gabriel. Her husband had left her pregnant at the time. When Kathi's son Lenni goes missing for a short time, Chris blames her daughter and doubts her ability to care for a child. Subsequently, she has more and more influence on raising children and the life of her adult daughter. So she furnishes her an apartment near her and literally takes the boy away from her, over which both get into concrete arguments. Little Lenni has to experience this and Kathi leaves the maternal apartment with him.
Kathi's father Wolfgang shows up all of a sudden. He wants to win back his ex-wife Chris, which she refuses. He disappointed her too much, for which she cannot forgive him. So he tries to get back to his family through the children, but Kathi doesn't want to know anything more about him either. Your father brings back too many unpleasant memories of the past. His son Gabriel, however, doesn't know him at all, but is not averse to catching up with them.
After Kathi's argument with her mother, she and her son finally move away from their mother to their former, much simpler apartment. When Chris visits her there, Kathi rejects the attempted rapprochement. She joins the puppeteer Fabian, whom she met some time ago and is now finally going her own way.

Reviews
Christian Buß from Spiegel Online writes: “Hanna Doose's family drama [...] is one of those wonderful, intense university graduation films that appear every few years in the German film scene. Which you can tell that their makers have dealt with their topic for years without bowing to the common narrative forms of German film. […] [The] drama [is] designed as a series of confrontational situations that function like casting scenes. […] You watch laypeople in matters of life as they slip into roles that may be a size too big for them. Stammering and cutting verbal attacks, improvisational charm and theatrics - that goes together here. "
At Der Tagesspiegel, Jan Schulz-Ojala comments on this remarkable film: “'Dust on our hearts' describes […] a terrible daughter-mother duel, from which the daughter, dark consolation, emerges as the winner. Steadfastly slowly and with self-control that sometimes torments the audience, Stephanie Stremler is the complementary counterpart to Lothar, who thinks precisely and fires her short sentences with precision. That's exciting, and most importantly: It hurts. "
Even Philip Stadelmaier in the Süddeutsche has nothing but praise: "The fact that Doose in their screenplay to any sadistic tour de force of the screenplay waived (even the disappearance of the little boy is not exploited here) and was free to improvise on the set dialogues, gets the film the spontaneity and the rehearsal of a single big audition, in which Kathi is desperately looking for an expression and constantly has to prove herself.
