- Synopsis
- Since her older brother Dennis jumped to his death two years ago, 17-year-old Rebekka (Sarah Mahita) has been trying in vain to come to terms with his suicide. Her parents are mainly concerned with maintaining their bourgeois façade and, like the village community, have long since identified a “culprit” for Dennis’ death: Vincent (Béla Gabor Lenz), his best friend, who jumped off the bridge with him and miraculously survived the fall. When Vincent returns to the small town in the Black Forest after a long absence, the old wounds are reopened. Rebekka, however, sees in the rebellious eccentric the only way to finally understand who her brother really was.
  
  Against the fierce resistance of Rebekka’s parents, the two young people grow closer and a stormy love affair develops that is both healing and increasingly destructive. Rebekka is drawn deeper into her brother’s emotional world than she would like. When the situation escalates, she has to make a tough decision.
