Talk to Me

Karo (28) is newly separated and struggling with the non-existent relationship with her father. When her mother Michaela (50) wants to go on vacation with her to the island of Rügen, Karo suspects another failed male story behind it. What starts as a spontaneous trip quickly turns out to be a journey into the past of two women who couldn't be more different: Michaela wants distraction, Karo wants peace. When they arrive at the hotel, they meet the newly divorced Jochen (60) and his teenage daughter Marie (16). For Michaela, Jochen is a vacation flirt, and for Karo he could be the answer to all her questions and longings. Marie, on the other hand, is the mirror of a youth Karo never had. Mother and daughter quickly realize that the absent father has left a void that is bigger and more painful than they thought. Old wounds are torn open and both try to heal in their own way and free themselves from their fixed roles.
