Liebe ohne Illusion
No overview found
Atme
Johanna finds herself in a snowy place of silence. What lies behind is a ghostly relationship between two people and their longing for connection. Disappointed expectation, illusion, exuberance, in an interchangeable city backdrop. Caught up in naive hope. Only through deep pain does Johanna come close. She breathes.
