Roots and Wings
Wurzeln und Flügel
Synopsis
Maja is searching for traces of her past. As a small child, she and her mother, a street clown, took each day as it came, not knowing where they’d be spending the night. By chance their journey took them to a village on the Italian coast. A life as if carried on wings, yet one with no roots, as Marie could not provide them. It was only when living with her grandfather that Maja was able to have something resembling a home.
