Though this footage film is realised in a comparatively simple manner, yet the Vietnamese song and the chipmunk, swaying and dancing between slap-stick-like despair and ambition, leave a lasting impression – and enable a catharsis in four minutes: astonishment, rapture, compassion and, finally, redemption.

"I just wanted to get in touch again." Messages on the answer phone, combined with pictures of a fulfilled life: Jan Eichberg and Nicolaas Schmidt tell a story in which images and sound cancel each other out, just to find each other again in the end. Ruins of a homeland.
