‘Gabriela’ is the narrative of a woman born in after-the-war Germany and her overwhelming need to live, love and matter. Her son, a couple of years after her death, throws a deep inquiry into the diary, the letters, the people and the places she once knew, as if she could take a last look and ponder on the choices, the outcomes and the meaning of her life upon other people. A trip between Stuttgart, Germany and Alexandria, Greece, with an underlying question pending: “what kind of life is this?” Hand in hand during this trip, her son is trying to find peace with his always fleeing mother, “The German with the bicycle”.
