After his father’s heart attack, Karl returns to the family farm and faces a difficult choice about its future and who might share it with him.
The story
When Josef suffers a heart attack, his son Karl returns to the family farm, which he had left because he could no longer bear his father blaming him for his sister’s death. Their reunion is marked by continued clashes. As Karl considers taking over the farm, he must also consider whom he might build that future with. One possibility is Leni, his childhood friend, who runs her own farm with her daughter. Another is Sophie, a stripper whose family once grew hops but lost the business after an uninsured hailstorm.
