Synopsis

Our film starts in Berlin, where we live. We are Dora (the Ears) and Nataša (the Eyes), two women with children and men at our sides. Dora lives in a cozy flat in East Berlin. But when she opens her windows, she sees a kindergarten with a sad-looking backyard and hears crying children, so she keeps her window closed. Nataša lives on the former Stalin Allee („little Moscow“), which has six lanes and is one of the loudest streets in Berlin.
Are these the places we will stay at for the rest of our lives? We decide to travel to our origins, to South Bohemia. It is only us, a map, a car and two sleeping bags. We visit Dora's parents and a local fortune-teller. She tells us about our future, our movie and sends us to the next place. From there, we engage in a journey across the Czech Republic, Austria and finally back to Berlin, Germany. We are looking for answers along our way, we meet people who have a specific relationship to the place they live. They are all different; modern nomads, homeless, people who have already found their place, or in the process of creating their own. These people we encounter direct us to the next, they determine the route. We will be surprised, we will identify with our encounters, and we will be inspired. We will return transformed and have an answer to our question regarding the nature of the right place.
