Pauline de Bok takes a break from city life and retreats to the countryside. With her dog, she settles on a farm north of Berlin. In the dilapidated buildings, the journalist discovers remnants of the lives of former residents, rummaging through attics, basements, and archives, and interviewing locals. She follows the traces left by people and times, piecing together the forgotten stories of the land and its people: "The land, which seems to silently and stoically endure weather and world events, begins to speak.".
