Summary
On Ibiza in the early nineties, Jo is a twenty-five-year-old music composer from Berlin, who wants to be part of the nascent electronic music revolution. Martha has been living alone in her house facing the sea for forty years. One night Jo knocks on her door. Her solitude intrigues him. They become friends even as the mysteries around her accumulate: that cello in the corner she refuses to play, the German language she refuses to speak... As Jo draws her into the new world of techno music, Martha puts everything she had previously lived by into question
