      POMSSEN. SAXONY, 1937.
      Richard and Lina Kretschkopf are a young peasant couple who live in a small house in the country, in the middle of the German hills.
      Richard's desire to have a child, a healthy and strong son who works with him in the fields has grown to the point to become an obsession, especially after an event that has deeply affected him: a first pregnancy of Lina's that ended up tragically. Lina appears more and more anguished by her husband's increasing and almost morbid behaviour, who has begun to build a cradle for his not yet conceived son.
      Lina eventually learns that she is pregnant again; for Richard begins a new wait filled with hope. I will only be a bitter delusion which will put in motion one of the most terrible events in history.
