In the autumn of 2015 S. fled from Tehran to Frankfurt in the search of a new life. A few month later L. travels to Tehran for a theater production in search of herself and a friend who disappeared.
While S. is worried about leaving no traces on his way to Germany, L. encounters the traces of stories that are no longer being told. Through Telegram and Skype they both keep recieving the same kind of messages: Where are you? Are you there yet?
Two journeys in two opposite directions. Between projection and reality. A movement that crosses borders, along the traces of our present time. The intent of an reconstruction.
And while the images of those journeys are getting lost somewhere out there in the cloud, the sounds remain, remembering us of possible places and stories.
