WEINKIND

An essayistic dream journey

Young girl Mia, completely absorbed by dreams and fantasy images of her rural origins and ancestors, grows up in an idyllic family winery and becomes a rebellious punk. She spirals between leaving the world of wine and the search for an identity of her own

SYNOPSIS

In the middle of the idyll of the southern Styrian wine country, the little girl Mia grows up among her family in a beautiful winery. She is a melancholic child, and is completely taken over by her dreams and her fantasy world. In her imagination, the real environment disappears and the ancestors of the family household appear to her. Growing older comes suddenly for her and she adolesces into a rebellious punk who struggles to find her way. Her overwhelming imagination still obscures the reality around her and possible paths to take. The dream images are strongly influential to her perception of the world, and so Mia gets into a spiral of memories, visions, and the search for her own identity.
