Ioanna

Ioanna cleans fish on a lonely island, and only dreams of an old love from Germany. Apart from her memories of him, she has nothing but a faded postcard. The longing makes her travel. Penniless, she moves through a ramshackle Europe. A bear finds the sleeping Ioanna. And Ioanna, who has been mute until now, finds her voice again.
