Synopsis
It is the summer of 1990, the Berlin Wall has fallen and it is the last summer in the GDR before reunification. Maria, a delicate 19-year-old girl, lives with her boyfriend Johannes on his parents' Dreiseithof farm, the Brendel Hof. Right next to it is the Henner Hof, the largest farm in the area, where Henner, a 40-year-old morose and taciturn man, lives alone. His idiosyncratic demeanour and his reputation as a heartthrob amongst local women make socialisation between them difficult. Maria meets him by chance, and a single touch is enough to start a tragic love in a changing country.
