In the short experimental documentary, the filmmaker explores the complexities of closeness and distance between her and the village of her childhood. Not only the place but also her past self appear increasingly inaccessible and alien to her. Motivated by the desire to bridge this growing gap, as well as defiance of the reactionary Bavarian notion of heritage and homeland, she embarks on a search. Like her little brother, who roams the village every day, unenthusiastically following the beeps of his metal detector to excavate historical relics. As she begins to engage with the people and the place after years of avoidance, the village reveals its peculiarities.
