Ancestral Shadows

LOGLINE:
The reunion of three sisters leads to a journey through the shadows of their ancestors.

SYNOPSIS:
Looking forward to a reunion weekend after many years apart, three sisters meet in their old family home. Little do they know that the intimate party will turn into a confrontation with their ancestors‘ shadows.
Dancing with those ghosts of the past reveals to the women just how many of the roles and behavior patterns, handed down from generations of their ancestors and despite their own emancipation, still influence their bodies‘ expressions and their actions.
Looking into the mirror of the present, the spirits realize their descendants‘ chance to free themselves from the corsets of societal constraints and expectations, in order to finish the laboriously paved road leading to an autonomous life for women.
Valiantly, the sisters release the shadows from the ancient walls, thus opening the doors to a new era.
