Linda is a headstrong woman. She marries and lives with her husband Paul in the Ruhr area. But 12 years of marriage do not make Linda happy. She dreams of seeing the sea and is constantly in search of fulfillment. Her husband doesn't understand her. Instead, he goes his own way. They have three children together, but Linda continues to live in her own world. A few days before her dream of the sea comes true, Linda dies in an accident at a freight station.

An elegy on the death of the film-maker's mother. Fragments from dreams, nightmares and memories combine with natural sound and landscape in this short film poem "a myriad of instances in transit" M. Maziere, Independent Media. Through various texts and spoken diaries oblique reference is made to the persistence of the imagination; the dark, wild wood of Dante's Inferno with Paolo and Francescs buffeted on an infernal breeze, whilst an iconoclasic re-depiction of a Renaissance painting of the deposition by Raphael, describes an age in which the reality of death and grief were less hidden.
