The Lost One

The Past of Our Mothers. The Future of Our Daughters.

Laura often heard her grandmother Änne reminisce about the summers in Silesia - bathing the horses in the river and listening to the wind in the cottonwoods. However, the people in these stories stayed mysteriously in the dark. It isn't until Änne falls into a coma that Laura realizes she never asked the right questions about her grandmother's past—and now, it may be too late to find the answers.

When Laura finds a disturbingly beautiful painting and a stack of old love letters in her house. the dicovery sheds a completely new light on the life of the woman she thought she knew so well. Laura and her mother Ellen embark on a quest to find the family’s former estate. This trip uncovers a truth that not only shakes their understanding of Änne but also leads to new questions that delve even deeper into the family history. Even though they struggle with the unexpected findings Laura and Ellen uncover the roots of a trauma that transcends generations. 

A great family saga told from multiple perspectives and set in two time periods about traumas that continue to have an impact on the present and the relationship between mothers and daughters.
