Cynthia Beatt : 2014
Stella unexpectedly inherits an old house in Berlin from her Jewish great-uncle. Due to the dramatic history of this building, which has gone through various changes throughout the 20th century, she will have to fight for the right to claim ownership of her inheritance. Willing to do this, she embarks on a personal journey into the past that turns out to be more complex and ambiguous than she ever could have expected. A conceptual quest full of suspense, depicting a person who gets a chance to find her 'secret homeland' as well as rediscover herself. Cynthia Beatt's feature, a mixture of fiction and non-fiction, challenges our 'common knowledge' about the genealogy of contemporary Europe. Her film premiered at International Film Festival Rotterdam 2014.
