木与水

安克从黑森林小镇教堂的工作中退休。她期待着在波罗的海的暑假期间与孩子们团聚，那里是他们年轻时居住的地方，也是她度过最美好的时光的地方。在最后一刻，她的儿子麦克斯无法加入他们的行列，因为民主抗议活动使他居住的香港陷入了停滞。她已经与他失去联系很多年了，在经历了一个平静的夏天并面临着退休的空虚之后，她决定去看望他。一位母亲想时不时地看看她的孩子，但香港也是她的冒险之地。当麦克斯出差时，她搬进了他的公寓，小心翼翼地开始探索这个神秘的新世界。通过与陌生人的交谈，她逐渐融入其中。 一个伤心离开香港的年轻女子，麦克斯的门卫，一名精神科医生，一名算命师和一名社会活动家。这些遭遇和她在这座城市的经历帮助她打破了多年前建造的内墙，为她人生的新篇章铺平了道路。

Anke retires from her job at the church in a small town in the Black Forest. She looks forward to reuniting with her children over the summer holidays by the Baltic Sea, at a place where they used to live as a young family, and where she lived her best years. At the last minute, her son Max is unable to join them because of the pro-democracy protests that are bringing Hong Kong, where he lives, to a standstill. She has been out of touch with him for many years and after an otherwise uneventful summer and facing the void of retirement, she decides to visit him. A mother wants to check in on her children every now and then, but Hong Kong is also her adventure. She takes up residence in his flat while Max is away on a business trip and cautiously begins to navigate this mysterious new world. Through conversations with strangers, she gradually settles in. A young woman who is sad to leave Hong Kong, Max's doorman, a psychiatrist, a fortune teller and a social activist. These encounters and her experience of the city help her to break down the inner walls she constructed years ago and make way for a new chapter in her life.
