Petra is a filmmaker. Inspired by the death of her grandmother Magdalena, the chats with Magdalena's partner and lover Gertrud as well as an old suitcase of Magdalena, she writes a poem. To keep her memories of Magdalena and Gertrud alive and prevent them from fading, she makes a film with the poem in it. The story of this film is based on the published poem IN SUMMER THEY SIT, THE ELDERLY by Ulrike Almut Sandig.
