On moth­ers and daugh­ters

NINA (32) lives a self-determined life as an actress and mother in Amsterdam. For the funeral of her grandmother MARIE, she returns to her hometown in the Ruhr area, where she is confronted with the mindsets and customs of her past. In the midst of it all, stands Nina's mother KONNIE (58), who tries to hide her own grief behind the planning of Maries funeral - or rather avoid the question of how to come to terms with a mother, whose appreciation she had sorely missed all her life. For the first time, Nina takes an interest in her mother's feelings - but time is running out until the eulogy. As Nina struggles with an offer to play a character on „the dream ship“, the funeral festivities keep shifting - And there are still 60 pounds of plums in the kitchen that need to be pitted! With each new cancellation of her return flight, Nina starts to shift her perspective. At the end, she gets closer to her mother than ever before. So why not take a turn on“ the dream ship"? Granny Marie always loved watching it.
