Following an accident, Meral returns to live with her traditional parents where she is confined to her bed while recuperating. Nobody confronts her condition except herself. Her little sister Asiye is her biggest supporter.

By means of objects, photos, tapes and films, director Angelika Levi, half-German, half-Jewish, examines the story of her family. The film deals with trauma and the way history is produced, filed away, turned into discourse and ordered on macro and micro levels.
