GESPENSTER (2005) dir. Christian Petzold Nina is a shy, introverted orphan living only in the past, which she tries to fabricate in her diary. She meets Toni, a young woman living on the street who is her exact opposite: she concerns herself only with surviving the present moment. They cross paths with Françoise, who has recently been released from a mental hospital in Berlin and now wanders the city aimlessly. Unable to give up the hope of finding her daughter, Marie, who was abducted many years ago, she is also arrested by the past. Now Françoise believes she recognizes Nina as her daughter.
