Homesickness (immer)

“Or we could make a splash!” proposes a woman, delivering the filmʼs one spoken line. Between longing and dilemma, itʼs a tense mood – for what kind of homesickness could this be if neither place nor hour is known? It may have to do with communication with others or with ourselves or with animals or at least with the air that surrounds us but we seldom sense. “We could take a moment and catch our breath.”
