In the body of Johannes Schneider, cancer reigns. Even though his family cares for him deeply, there is little hope. He fears what is to come and that nothing will remain of him and his life. Through writing, he confronts his fear and the threat of being forgotten, dreaming himself back to his childhood in the Rhineland, to a nearly mythical place - the Wiesenhaus. Here, life blossoms like the landscape. However, looking back also brings repressed memories to light, and unexpectedly, the family idyll begins to show its first cracks. Slowly but surely, Schneider writes his way forward, toward the truth of what really happened back then and how he became the person he is today. With great empathy, Christoph Schmitz tells the story of a man who remembers in order to have a future.
