A Good Place

Story

In powerfully atmospheric imagery, Katharina Huber tells an anti-heimat story – between a stagnating past and an uncertain future. Margarita and Goodness are stuck in their village. The chickens are suspicious, the relationships dubious and the deals dodgy. But the two young women cannot decide whether to leave the village or change it. On the radio meanwhile there are nothing but news programmes, while the world waits for the lift-off of a rocket that is supposed to be taking humanity to the edge of the galaxy. »But there’s nothing out there,« someone at the dinner table says.
