»When I think of Anne, I see cranes circle in the sky«. Thus begins Doğan Akhanlıs monologue about the life of Sabiha, a Turk raised in Germany, who discovers a Armenian Cross tattooed on the skin of her dead mother Anne, and the story of Jewish Hans, who poses as a Non-Jew and has a carves out a career with the Nazis. A poetical research beyond the clamp of silence in search of memories for which there is no language.
