Ties That Bind

"Just when I thought I was finally at peace with my feelings for my parents and my origins, our father bequeaths his old farmhouse to me and my sister." "The inheritance of stone is meant to tie us back to that place in the Salzburg mountains where we grew up and where my parents still live. I suffer from shortness of breath. I realize: the conflict with my family has not stopped. With my return, a new look at my parents begins." (IVETTE LÖCKER) "A humorous and touching portrait of a Salzburg marriage that is well past its sell-by date." (cineuropa.org)
