What remains when all that is considered home is lost forever? Former German child refugees, three men and two women, give accounts of what the loss of what they considered home means to them – then and now. Margit Eschenbach examines the topic in an enlighteningly unexcited manner, with a sense of curiosity for stories and narrative modes that can be anything but taken for granted when dealing with the emotive word “dispossession”. The film thrives on these quiet notes, of the shades of the witnesses’ perspectives, which open up spaces for the fate that was shared by many of the 16 million refugees and dispossessed.
