In his film diary, Peter Mettler follows the course of rivers and life. It revolves around the consequences of the death of his parents and the question of how we will all continue – on a personal and global level. With his unique cinematic style, the director invites us on a meditative journey, from the Appenzell Alps to the lockdown in Toronto.
