The film provides an associative, lyrical depiction of the poem Frühlingslied by J.C. van Schagen, focusing on a little boy's memories of his mother and bringing together present, past and future.
Poetic fictional film with Halina Reijn based on the poem Frühlingslied by J.C. van Schagen. Frühlingslied (translation: Martin Cleaver): it is evening - summer 1900; we live in Singelstraat; Mother is standing in the garden - alone; she sees the distance - high over the houses; beyond the gardens of Koepoortstraat; Mother is proud; she looks so darkly; Mother is beautiful; she looks so sad; she gazes into the distance; while the tower plays the Frühlingslied; so clear, so far, so eternal; the tower is still playing the Frühlingslied; about Mother in the garden.—SNG Film
