Two sisters from Lithuania – a filmmaker and a photographer – take on a journey through their German grandmother’s past. During the research, they reveal her love story, fleeing, uncomfort of being German in Soviet Lithuania and a chain of suicides in their family. “What We Leave Behind” is made from a need to talk about unspoken topics, look for answers and hopefully break taboos.
