Synopsis "The Dead and the Living" relates the personal journey of young Sita. It is not only an expedition into her family’s burdened past. It is also a journey to the abyss of modern European society, a trip which takes her from Berlin to Romania via Vienna and Warsaw – a film about losing one’s homeland and discovering oneself, a film about hope and responsibility.
