On the way to the island Neuwerk you pass the mudflat. A world in between absence and presence, water and land. The essayistic film approaches this transition zone from different angles and time periods.
The millennia-old landscape of the Wadden Sea on the North Sea coast has been protected as a natural heritage site for decades and is now facing destruction more than ever. The essayistic short film examines how this uncertain transition in the Hamburg mudflats cannot be seen but can be imagined with images from an intermediate world in overlapping rhythms, flowing absences and presences, tides, seasons, migratory birds, locals and tourists.
