A simple life in turbulent times.
A woman in the farm Eifel who becomes one with nature, and her struggle for self-determination.

Trier, 1920: When factory owner’s daughter Johanna Fuchs is told she has inherited a farm, the news comes completely out of the blue. Why did none of her family tell her about Aunt Lisbeth, who seems to have lived quietly in the village of Altenburg until her death? And why has she left everything to Johanna, of all people? When the young heiress first sets eyes on the farm, she falls in love with this idyllic spot and decides, against her parents’ wishes, to stay there. She feels safe in the beautiful woods nearby, and develops an instinct for the animals that live there. Despite the challenges of rural living, Johanna is able to live a self-determined life just like her aunt, who was an artist and unmarried. But who was Lisbeth Fuchs really? When Johanna’s brother Georg joins the SA in the 1930s, it becomes clear that their family’s dark shadow stretches all the way to Altenburg, and that the coming political storm will determine the fate of the little village Johanna has come to call home …
