Sehnsucht nach Myanmar

To Be With You - My Family in Myanmar

A young filmmaker takes a trip to Myanmar into her own past, revisiting the places of her childhood. A journey to look for her missing father, but also into the warmth and security of living memory embodied by her friends and family. Shot in still, poetic frames, the film discreetly captures the present day echoes of a country kept in isolation for decades. Caught between romanticized pictures of her childhood and the contemporary moderniz ed mega city of Yangon, Seng Mai goes to see those who brought her up, who implanted the longing in her which pulled her halfway around the globe; a passionate journey that changes her life forever.
