Bau der Köhlbrandbrücke
The film focuses on a woman who reflects reality in her dreams, whereby the dimension of dreams is understood as part of reality. This goes back to some ancient cultures, where the word for dream can be derived from the verb "to awaken." The individual scenes are to be understood as metaphors for states of being, such as grief, powerlessness, fear, or a form of lightness. They are assembled as a collage, with individual scenes and images being repeated throughout.
