Heimat is a Space in Time

What remains? Biographies leave traces. So does the passage of time. In the German-Austrian co-production HEIMAT IS A SPACE IN TIME, Thomas Heise examines how the one relates to the other. The film follows the biografical traces of a torn family across the late 19th and the following 20th century. It is about people who once found each other by chance, then lost each other. Whose remaining children and grandchildren now disappear. It is about speaking and silence. First love and vanished happiness. Fathers, mothers, sons, brothers, affairs, hurt and happiness in changing landscapes that carry various traces of times that intertwine. "A great film that stays" BIRGIT KOHLER, BERLINALE
