A cinematic diary in which the award-winning Swiss-Canadian filmmaker Peter Mettler follows and interweaves, in his unique cinematic style, the course of rivers and life. It revolves around the impact of the death of his own parents and the question of how we will continue - on a personal and global level. A meditative journey from the Appenzell Alps to the lockdown in Toronto. The film comprises two parts of a larger project with the same title.
