The story of an Iranian family scattered across years and borders, where home becomes a fragmented memory. The essay film shows how displacement also shapes time and encounters remain possible only in images.
The traces of three characters, Maria, Daniel, and Jackpot, can be read like an experimental coming-of-age film. What effects do intergenerational traumas have on the psyche, on desire, on the formation of our identity?
Clay-covered bodies squeeze through narrow rock passages. Sparingly lit by their helmet lamps, they blend in with the sediment-covered cave walls. The film accompanies a group of cave explorers and looks at their different motives for venturing into the inaccessible depths. In the farthest corners of the "Windloch" cave, discovered in 2019, lies a chamber filled with bizarre, delicate aragonite crystals. The most extraordinary of these is called "Hydra" by its discoverers.
In her essayistic documentary film, Katrin Esser stages the story of her mother, who suffers from Alzheimer's disease. The course of the illness is told from two perspectives: that of the Polish caregiver Violetta and that of the daughter. They take turns recounting their experiences, the limits of care, excessive demands, working conditions, exploitation within the system, and death. The only filming location is the apartment, which alternates between living space, museum, and crime scene. Esser's staging reveals layers of memory and shows that remembering and forgetting are very individual processes.

The transformation of Kim, an ordinary person with the most common surname in Korea, into a dish sponge—a process in which he becomes "dish scrubber-ized." It is a poetic reflection on identity, conformity, and the loss of self in the face of societal expectations. As Kim transforms from a human being into a "tool of cleanliness," the film raises the question: How much of ourselves remains when we adapt to the demands of an ever-changing world?
In a mosaic of games, films, and media, the protagonist's perspective, a fragmented state of mind, merges, and the boundaries between reality and dreams dissolve. 1g of quetiapine, both a remedy and a means of forgetting, dampens the heart and shatters identity. The film collage reflects on the medicalization of mental suffering and the loneliness that lies in synthetic calm. Through chaotic layers of media, it shows how the self is not healed, but rather rendered illegible and suspended in a borderline state between sedation and despair.
Between memory and the digital realm, we create ghosts: of people around us and of ourselves, in long-forgotten game worlds that now lie dormant on hard drives. These ghosts haunt worlds that are slowly decaying and fading away. Human connections crumble if they are not nurtured—just like our memories and our data. The internet has claimed that it never forgets, but that's not true: it forgets very quickly. Our digital world is transient, even if we hardly want to admit it.
A view of the desktop. A text read aloud via Google Translate opens up a digital labyrinth of nested folders. Project folders lead to subfolders, images overlap, scenes appear and disappear again. While searching for order, the system threatens to collapse. Between self-staging, archival chaos, and loss of control, a cinematic essay emerges that opposes imposed order and inner overload. The paradox is that it was produced by the very system it questions.
