It is a sunny afternoon. The seamstress sews a dress for another woman's wedding. A window is pushed open by the wind. She sits down for a moment, breathes in and waits for something.

You before

Jaschek is driving. Nada is sitting next to him. No one talks till he puts in a cassette. Nada's voice comes on. She talks about the night they met. Her voice takes us on a journey remembering what they saw in each other. Through Jaschek's eyes we will become part of their inaccessible story. Vor Dir is a sensitive view on the fragile relationship between two young people. Still unsure about their feelings - blurry passions, remembrances and desires set the mood of the protagonists' world.
