Songs from the Desert

"Songs from the Desert" is a film journal that documents a summer in Cuxhaven. In the midst of a creative crisis, the filmmaker and her camcorder go on a search for images of her inner life. She meets two men who seem stranded just like her: Ingolf reminisces about his wild youth in the former GDR and tries to call an old friend. Daniel spends his days playing guitar at the nudist beach and dreams about sky gliding in the mountains while on the horizon, cargo ships pass by like giant ghosts. The sea comes and goes and leaves behind a lot of heavy steel against the backdrop of a wet desert.
