Götz Spielmann : 2013
October November
In a small village in the Austrian Alps there is a hotel, now no longer in use. Two sisters grew up here. Sonja now lives in Berlin. She has become an actress, very successful, a TV star. She made a career for herself very quickly: she is still only in her early 30s. She has achieved a lot in this short time – but something seems to be missing from her life. Her sister Verena, who is a little older, has never left the village. After their mother died in an accident she, her husband and her little boy moved into the former hotel, which is much too big for them. The father of the two sisters also still lives in the former hotel. Still a patriarch, he has grown old and surly. Then a major heart attack brings him close to death. He survives, but from now on he is a sick man. And for Sonja it is high time to visit her family once again, and the scenes of her childhood. A new chapter begins; old relationships are reconfigured. The reunion slowly but relentlessly brings to light old conflicts between the so very different sisters. The film premiered in competition at San Sebastián International Film Festival 2013.
