A woman, a road, the outland. The non-narrative animated film is a poetic debate about the issue of "home" and the experience of the outland as a new home. A collage of fragments of Hilde Domin's poems and a concentration and overlay of sketchy drawings and sound elements, always incomplete, always close to disappearance. It describes the search for an inner place of calm, a timeless space of deceleration.
