Summary

Josepha Schlupfberg and her great-grandmother, Therese, struggle to make ends meet in a small East German town in the 1970s. When Josepha finds she is pregnant after a one-night stand with an African student, she wants to provide her child with a family history. She and Therese embark on a series of imaginary sorties in their living-room, armed with cognac, cheese rolls, a jar of pickles and a box of old photographs and assorted memorabilia. They name this adventure, which lasts the nine months of Josepha's pregnancy, the Gunnar Lennefsen Expedition after an imaginary Arctic explorer. The two women relive their family story on a screen onto which Therese can project her memories, each triggered by something from the box.
