Lisa zieht aus, Mara bleibt zurück. Während Kisten transportiert, Wände geweisst und Schränke aufgebaut werden, tun sich Abgründe auf, lassen Sehnsüchte den Raum anschwellen und ein Begehrenskarussel nimmt allmählich Fahrt auf. Ein tragikomischer Katastrophenfilm. Eine poetische Ballade über Veränderung und Vergänglichkeit.
