🎬 Movie

Filmmaker Janna Ji Wonders weaves the threads of family memory, tracing the lives of four generations of women in her own family. Their journeys unfold against the backdrop of idyllic Lake Walchensee, the turbulent 1960s hippie communes surrounding Rainer Langhans, and a relentless quest for freedom. The documentary becomes a kaleidoscope of eras—from post-war Germany to the present day—where personal dreams, motherhood, disillusionment, and resilience are passed down as the most precious heirlooms. Through archival footage, intimate interviews, and the serene landscapes of the lake, a portrait emerges of a family whose identity is inextricably tied to this place.
