Geist Zeit is a visual poem about loss, fragmented
memory, and transcendental womanhood. This film
speaks through the contemplative reflections of a girl
mourning her grandmother as she travels on a physical
journey that mirrors the stages of grief. Lingering in
the objects and clothes left behind, she wonders if our
artifacts grant us something close to an eternal life.
