The reconstruction of this overwhealming emotion of fear, which struck the filmmaker, when his one year old daughter fought for her life in hospital with a bacterial meningitis. While his wife could stay overnight at the hospital he was thrown out in the night, with nothing to do but wasting time until morning where he could return to his family.
The film reconstructs the two nights of uncertainty, until the childs life is rescued, this fall into darkness, the helpless fear, the places, the deserted outskirts of Berlin. The film is the reconstruction of a mood or an emotion with cinematographic means not a story about illness and healing. Therefore no dialogues, no voice over are beeing used. The filmmaker just trusts in images and sound.
