In the heart of Portugal, in the mountainous region of Serra da Estrela, wildfire left strong marks on the landscape. Inhabitants rely on legends to explain the devastating events, others show resistance by rebuilding wasteland with their bare hands. Guards posted in small towers watch over the forest. The cyclical danger of fire hangs over the pine and granite landscape like a ghost. The relationship between humans and nature is gradually revealed, oscillating between magic, exploitation and cohabitation.

Standing in the kitchen not knowing what to do – the void after separating. Mena strolls through the Kiez before leaving Berlin and her relationship behind. A time, where strangers like cell phone or flower vendors become conversation partners offering wisdom for healthy relationships.

Laurianne is waiting for her work colleague to pick her up – and for the result of her pregnancy test. While she tries to cope with her everyday life, she starts to struggle. Not with the decision of what to do, but with this responsibility that her body brings with it. And the question of how alone she is with it.

A broken phone and the digital memory of a broken relationship. Both fragile, both recomposed to reveal the fragments of a first love that seems to fade away. Through the careful manipulation of discarnate metal components and the warm director’s look on a found intimate archive, a parallel movement of lingering and resistance against the ephemeral. A playful reflection on what remains.
