Aided by a box filled with simple instruction cars, Hanna and Marius journey to Berlin where they suspect they might find her father. Along the way, they meet a handful of strangers who characterize the social and historical context of post-war Europe, Hanna explored what it is to be a human being, and Marius realizes he is more lost than Hanna. In A Girl Is Lost in Her Century, Looking for Her Father, Gonçalo M. Tavares creates an abstract yet touching portrait of the true victims of war.Translation of: Uma menina está perdida no seu século à procura do pai
