- Synopsis:
Young student Lene (Johanna Wokalek) is standing at the train station; she must decide whether to take the train back to Berlin where she lives or the one to the Bavarian countryside where her family resides - the place she left in anger many years ago. 'Hierankl' is the name of a Bavarian "Bergbauernhof", i.e., a solitary farm in the mountains with nothing else around but Alps, cows, and nature. Lene returns home to her beloved father Lukas (Josef Bierbichler), her rejecting mother Rosemarie (Barbara Sukowa), her brother Paul (Frank Giering), and a dark, sinister farmhand. She walks through the places of her childhood and feels better. Things get better yet when Göetz (Peter Simonischek), a long-missed friend of her father's, arrives to celebrate Lukas' 60th birthday. Despite their significant age difference, Lene and Göetz are attracted to each other, and they have a good time. But the day of celebration that should have been, turns into family day of reckoning, and more than one well-kept family secret is revealed. - Actors:
