Kinzbach is a village at the end of a narrow valley, nestled among the dark forests of Spessart. For many years, Robert has avoided his old home. He traded the oppressive confinement for the liberating freedom of Berlin. He had no real reason to return: his relationship with his parents is at best strained, his first love ended tragically, and he has fallen out with his best school friend. In the gay subculture of the capital, he not only finds a great love but also discovers himself. However, he is then called to the bedside of his beloved grandmother, and the journey to the province becomes a confrontation with the past. The magical wonders of childhood return, but so do the wounds that are only superficially healed. And dark, deeply buried secrets that would have been better left forgotten.
