Jonathan sacrifices himself for his sick father and his farm. When an old acquaintance turns up, an old secret comes to light.

Jonathan sacrifices himself for his sick father and his farm. When an old acquaintance turns up, an old secret comes to light.


A mature, courageous, and sensitively told drama about a young man (Jannis Niewöhner) who has yet to find his way in life and a dying man who only reveals a lifelong lie at the end.

23-year-old Jonathan (Jannis Niewöhner) runs a farm with his aunt Martha (Barbara Auer) and selflessly cares for his cancer-stricken father Burghardt (André Hennicke), who stubbornly sabotages his son's efforts, struggles with his mortality, and wishes for a dignified death. The story takes another dramatic turn when Ron, Burghardt’s long-lost friend from his youth, re-appears — and a well-kept family secret is uncovered.
