First Days

When Lynn comes back home after having been away for a year, she suddenly feels like a stranger among her own. An intimate journey into the world and mind of this young woman, striving to love and to find her own identity.

City people set off into a warm late summer night. Glances meet in a library. At a workout, two men discuss where to buy love. A couple kisses intimately. She bites him. No sooner has he bought a match than a better offer calls. Doubts arise. A couple explains themselves in therapy. At breakfast, his match chews her egg so loud that he freezes in disgust. The electrifying looks in the library lose their power. Full of hope they wander into the unknown. Only the dance makes them temporarily forget who they are and what will happen.

An 80-year-old woman spends her time at a bus station. She’s waiting for the right moment to leave this place forever.

In a village in the Argentinian countryside, the inhabitants lead a life characterised by nature and routine. When a light appears to the elderly farmer Omar one night, he sets off with his grandson Noah on a journey in search of meaning.
