A short, visceral narrative film unfolds in three parts to describe loss. From the earliest experience of separation, to the imperceptible violence associated with integrating to a new country when yours is no longer livable, Morgenkreis (Morning Circle) follows a father and son in their intimate rituals as they prepare to start the day and head to kindergarten.
