THE ISLANDS THAT WE ARE

 THE ISLANDS THAT WE ARE.│Die Inseln, die wir sind. 

Back in Vienna, Anna misses the time she spent with Lisa in Amsterdam. Upon her friend’s insistence, she returns for a weekend visit, or perhaps longer. They laugh, they dance – and yet soon becomes clear that the ease of the Erasmus days is gone. This is a film about those crucial moments in which longing and reality collide. There is no real place to come home to anymore. ”You are waiting just like me to finally grow up one day. Because they had promise – when we were small –  that is the point where finally you get everything you want.”
