Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The expectations of Elias are high. He is not only an excellent student, but also the son of the richest farmer in the Zillertal. Soon he will take over the farm. But the more desperately he tries to fulfill his intended role, the more he feels that he really wants to live a completely different life.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
