- Synopsis
- 27-year-old Lena (Thea Rasche), an open-minded primary school teacher from Berlin, accompanies her 29-year-old boyfriend Ole (Paul Boche) together with his brother Lasse (Tom Böttcher) to the village of his childhood and youth. But what initially feels like a relaxing break away from the noise of everyday life in the city soon puts their relationship to an existential test: in the old, emotionally barren surroundings, Ole changes and reveals traits previously unknown to Lena, which not only call the relationship into question, but also become increasingly dangerous for Lena.
  
  The film raises many questions that everyone knows from their own relationships: What compromises do we make? What does the future together look like and when is it better to just let go? And what happens when escalation becomes inevitable and physical and physical violence breaks out?
