Walchensee Forever

In WALCHENSEE FOREVER, Janna Ji Wonders impressively tells the story of her family, which spans an entire century. She focuses primarily on the women's perspective, each of whom defies the patriarchal structures of her time in her own way. In order to uncover the secrets of her family and their role in the generational chain, Wonders takes us from the family café at Walchensee in Bavaria via Mexico to San Francisco to the "Summer of Love", to Indian ashrams, a harem and back to Walchensee again and again. The result is an exciting journey of discovery that provides an extraordinary view of several generations. Questions of identity, home and self-realization are posed, as well as the search for love, life and death. It is all about the cycle of life. An exciting journey through the last hundred years of contemporary history. An intimate and personal look at the remarkable family history of director Janna Ji Wonder.
