Marian Malin witnesses a terrorist attack. On the outside she remains unharmed, but the emotional wound tears open time and time again. She no longer feels safe in her familiar everyday life in the city and retreats to an old house by the forest, to the world of her childhood. There, in the solitude of nature, she regains her footing – until she comes face to face with Gerti. Screenplay inspired by the novel Wald by Doris Knecht.
