Das Wetter in geschlossenen Räumen
The Weather Inside
Dorothea, an aid worker with a humanitarian organization, has launched a project to help the people of a land menaced by civil war.

What appears to be reality becomes unbalanced, raising the question of having and being. Who exactly is helping whom? As her passion increases, Dorothea loses control, jeopardizing not only the project but also her life …
