by Christa Pfafferott und Paloma Llambías

Across two cities, Paloma and Christa exchange video messages: street scenes, reflections, quiet observations. Their cinematic correspondence unfolds as a dialogue of everyday life and political undercurrents in Germany.

Every Monday in Weimar, the „Monday Demonstration“ pass by Paloma’s window, while she prepares for her German integration test. Is she welcome in her chosen city? In Hamburg, Christa films the imposing silhouette of a World War II flak bunker now crowned with a luxury hotel, triggering memories of a family past she thought long buried.

Through two windows, the film reveals the textures of friendship, belonging, and the weight of memory.
