When her mother fled to Germany she was as old as the director is today. From an early age, certain images and values were conveyed to her about how a family was to be. Commitment and cohesion were of great importance. But who was it who actually defined this? The filmmaker approaches the person who is her mother. Have they not perhaps had the same experiences? When was the first heartbreak? What memories are there of school days? What was the most difficult farewell? What about loneliness? An unfinished diary entry about two people who get to know one another anew.
