Christl Eibl, born in 1940 in Chodský Újezd (Heiligenkreuz) in the Czech Republic, tells of loss. A traumatic experience – especially for a six-year-old child: the loss of familiar surroundings, of home. In the film "60 Pounds of Home" (30 Kilo Heimat), she, the grandmother, tells her grandson, the director, about her fate as a displaced person from the Sudetenland. She was born there and lived in the small town with her German family. Six years later, she was expelled with her parents, grandparents and little sister. However, Christl not only talks about the expulsion, but above all about the traces that the loss of her homeland left on her. She talks about reconciliation, but also about letting go and remembering.
