What happens when humanity fails to learn from its mistakes? Fairytale images, symbols, and transformations speak to show the past as a living resonance chamber. "Once upon a time" becomes a touchstone for the present. Fairy tales with motifs of loss, transformation, and rescue form a cultural echo that extends beyond childhood. At the center is a dialogue with photographer Gerty Deutsch. Based on her images, Catrine Val developed a new, cinematic-poetic language in which singing becomes the ultimate form of expression—where words no longer suffice.
How do historical revisionism and negationism work today? The film examines this question using the example of the peace statues for the "comfort women" of World War II—victims of human trafficking—which are to be removed from public spaces. It is a rarely told story of decades of revisionism and worldwide resistance. The victims were mostly poor women and girls whose stories were long ignored. Can denial and erasure completely wipe out the past? Will the truth remain hidden forever, or will it be replaced by an idealized past?

Over several years, Elsa Deshors films the meetings with her friends - a film like a road trip that shows us how difficult it is to be a female read person, and how friendship, mutual understanding, and support help us to come to terms with the past and find a way towards the future.
"What kind of times are these, when talking about trees is almost a crime? Because it implies silence about so many misdeeds!" Bertolt Brecht from the poem "To Those Born After," written in exile in Denmark between 1934 and 1938. A poetry film.
The boundaries between individual human freedom and the necessity of others, as illustrated by the case of a cannibal in Kassel.
