The near future. A young woman named Mira leaves her familiar world. Familiar? The place that was once more or less confidently referred to as 'old Europe' is now a shadow of its former self. Nowadays it is as hard to leave this fortress as it is to enter it. In search of a freer existence and, pursued by the powers-that-be, Mira boards a mysterious train in Paris bound for the east. Somewhere out there they say there's a place called Tara, where a group of people have dedicated themselves to becoming who they want to be ... The journey there is dangerous and the waymarkers are inconclusive. Not to mention the encounters with the group's local contacts, who do little to inspire confidence. (Berlinale)
