63 Min., DVD

In this highly personal and intimate travel diary, Birgit Hein has filmed with great candour her problems with aging, her need for tenderness, the frustration for being alone and her experiences in Jamaica. “The entire film was shot with a Hi-8-­videocamera and then refilmed and processed on 16mm, which gave an especially painterly quality to the images. This was a way of overcoming the realism of documentary filming. Nevertheless the authenticity of the images remains, as my presence behind the camera can always be felt.  The personal aspect of the film is backed up by hastily scribbled diary entries. The music by the group POL was especially composed for the film.
