Above the grandparents' home in southern Italy is an apartment that has been started. "If there was a window here, you could see the sea". What would have happened if the director had grown up there instead of in Switzerland? Like the beam of a flashlight in the dark, the film explores the nostalgia of an alternative past. It reflects on languages - Swiss German, German, Italian and Calabrian dialect are spoken in the film - and identities.
