Parting with cherished possessions is not easy. Hans Halter is 88 years old and lives in a retirement home on the outskirts of Balingen. He pays around 800 euros for the 70 square meter apartment, including utilities and heating. He previously lived in a 600 square meter house with his wife Ida. After her death, he decided to move and downsize. The house was too big and too much work for him alone. The move to a 70 square meter apartment was not easy for him, as he had to part with many mementos. Sorting out, downsizing, leaving furniture and objects behind was painful, but it was due to the circumstances. Nevertheless, his new home tells a lot about his long life. In this film, you can find out which three favorite pieces with a story will continue to accompany him. A movie by: Petra Nann (editor), Christian David (camera) and Stefan Haberbosch (editor/editor). Production: Imländle GmbH, on behalf of SWR.
