The film SAME SUN tells the story of Wiebke Lühmann's journey from Freiburg to the Cape of Good Hope. Honest, raw, and close to the inner and outer challenges of a 430-day bicycle trip. Her journey takes her through 22 countries, Sahara storms, the rain season, the Congo Basin, and the deserts of Namibia.

England, around 1800: Following the death of their father, the two sisters, Elinor and Marianne Dashwood, face an uncertain future. The level-headed Elinor conceals her feelings for Edward Ferrars, as a future together seems hopeless due to social and family obstacles. The younger Marianne, on the other hand, falls head over heels in love with the charismatic John Willoughby. Caught between hope, disappointment and the constraints of their time, both sisters must find their own way.

A chronicle of the wonders found in everyday life and events. Tragic and comic, philosophical and poetic, Mettler’s diary combines personal conversations, family history, memories, and love. The film gracefully explores our shared destiny and elevates the diary to the level of visionary cinema. Its meditative approach and investigative gaze create a space to capture the fragility of relationships, where reflections on the human condition and the environment merge in a stream of consciousness. Mettler travels between Switzerland and Canada, visits the mountains of New Mexico, and teaches at a film school in Cuba. He is always accompanied by the camera, “a machine that carries me through time.”
