Flotsam

Trine and her mother live in a cottage on the German coast. The mudflats that surround them disappear and reappear with the North Sea tides. The family leads a lonely existence, but each person has adapted in their own way.

Anna roams the beaches collecting flotsam and jetsam to make art, while Trine loves playing on a wartime shipwreck. That is, until she loses her brother. In her taut style, Meike Ziervogel tells a coming-of-age story from 1950s Germany - a place still haunted by war.

A place where people pretend not to notice the ghosts.
