Once a Seagull Dwelled by the Sea

Margarita Kojkov

Wie geht man mit Familie um, welche einem selbst entfremdet erscheint?
Nikola kehrt nach langer Zeit wieder zurück in ihre Heimat. Dort kommt sie mit ihrem Bruder Romy in Kontakt. Anfängliche Euphorie entwickelt sich in Unbehagen.

How does one deal with family that suddenly seems estranged?
Nikola has been away for a long time before returning back to her homeland.
There, close to the sea in tuscany, she comes into contact with her brother Romy.
Initial euphoria turns into unease.
