Two mothers, two daughters. The mothers came to Germany years ago from the Philippines. Now they tell their daughters—one of whom is filmmaker Christina Stuhlberger—their life stories. From the translation between different languages, Stuhlberger weaves an intimate bond between the four women. And turns a tender intertwining of hands on the back of a chair into the silent center of her powerful film.
