With the search for her roots her constant companion, actress Adriana Altaras goes on a journey to find a country which no longer exists - and along the way discovers a whole lot more.

Adriana Altaras comes from a country that no longer exists - Yugoslavia. The daughter of Jewish partisan soldiers who fought for Tito and who started a new life in post-war Germany talks in this film about her "strenuous family". Today she is a film director, actress, author, mother of two, and wife of a German catholic. As uncommon as Adriana's family life may appear at first sight, it is representative of a majority of her generation of post-war children. Despite a full life, the wounds of the parents' past can still be felt today, and the search for one's own roots is a constant companion.—Robert B
