一位沉湎于丧女之痛的母亲，和她十几岁的女儿，与那个被全世界认定为杀害她女儿凶手的男孩成了朋友。小女儿对此只想置身事外，而他们俩却千方百计想让逝者以某种方式留在生命中。直到有一天，她真的回来了——就藏在她母亲轻抚发丝的动作里，藏在她突然望向那个男孩的眼神里。一场狂热的迷途，一线虚妄的希望，一次被阳光浸透的降神会。

Somewhere in Central Europe, perhaps in the vicinity of Vienna, in the near future. Ten-year-old Elli is an android, as we soon learn. She takes shape through programming and this turns her into a fantasy figure. Firstly for a man she calls “Daddy” with whom she lies by the pool and for whom she dresses up in the house at the edge of the forest. Elli is the vessel for his memories, which mean nothing to her, but everything to him. One day he runs after a strange echo and gets lost in the darkness while Elli, who follows him, is picked up by strangers. A new identity awaits her, a new ghostly existence – as a blank screen onto which others can project their loss of the paradise that is childhood. Austria’s new voice for the nexus between desire and the abyss, fear and mystery, feeling and emptiness is Sandra Wollner. As in Das unmögliche Bild, in her provocative second feature film she develops the plot from a complex basic constellation (not the other way around) and reconstructs families that never existed. And so the machine becomes a mirror of human emotion, and the film a captivating ladder into virtual and psychological realities.
