BALANCE

A winter road movie between punk rock and poetry about coming of age in father-daughter relationships.

Clara (20) is only passing through. But when her flight is cancelled, she and her father Johannes (49) suddenly have an uncomfortably long time together.

Johannes, a moderately successful musician, is visited by his daughter, who lives with her mother in the Netherlands. Everything is arranged for one of their usual, brief visits. But what happens when suddenly there’s room to really connect?

The two spend the days until their rescheduled flight at the old family cabin on the Baltic Sea. What begins in high spirits becomes a journey of discovery: How well do they really know each other? Searching for a common language, they keep finding each other in music amid silences and arguments—sometimes harmonious, sometimes wild and angry, but always completely honest.
