Elisabeth
A Film by Katharina Woll
Synopsis
Elisabeth is a writer. Since her mother was sent to a nursing home, she lives completely isolated, spending her days writing. One day when Elisabeth takes a stroll through the park, she walks past seventeen year old Malek. When the young boy sees her, he is compelled to follow her home. He comes back to her house – again and again. A trip to his life leads to a rediscovery of herself.
