The collective German consciousness has stubborn gaps in its memory. In many families, however, these gaps are maintained by a cloak of silence. Filmmaker Johanna Groß attempts to break through this cloak in her graduation film VON DEM, WAS BLEIBT. With tireless drive, she confronts the unanswered questions about her great-grandfather, who has been missing since the Second World War. An emotional odyssey in the midst of family consciousness.
