Theo (Théo Deliyannis) made three consecutive trips to the island of Syros in Greece, where part of his family had lived. He knew the island well, but everything was changing there, and so he decided to record, in the form of fragments, the small impressions of his daily life, of what he did, saw, smelt and touched there.

For the multimedia exhibition Tangenten I (Tangents I), Dammbeck and co-organizer, sculptor and painter Frieder Heinze had planned to collaborate on a film that would combine non-camera animation with 35mm footage of a train ride between the two Dresden districts of Radebeul and Pieschen.
