What happens, when the lovestory of Romeo and Juliet would take place between the feuding families of dredger and cranes?

Leonore retells the story in a black-and-white short film, in a special technology, in which the film material is worked on directly. Strong black lines show the protagonists in a minimalist representation. In a fight crane against dredge, shown in ironic details, love wins…

Silvia Sauer has created 2015 a new musically interpretation for the live-performance, with voice and loop-effects. Her approach to the film is based on the potential of human voice, to express emotions without words and to use voice as an instrument – expressive, wide ranged and with a shot of humour.
