The Wende Museum in Culver City, California has an impressive collection of artifacts that were made and used in East Germany and tell of a country that no longer exists. Some remnants of the MS VölkerFreundschaft - the so-called socialist dream ship - are also kept there. Playwright Enis Maci looks at the private and official relics and piece together her thoughts on the nature of travel in a country that banned most western travel. Maci is accompanied in her intuitive narration and the attempt to approach a situation, a place, a feeling that seems blurry from today's perspective.
