Digital presentation - Two young men, Johann and Robin, take a trip into the countryside. The more they walk the forests of Brandenburg, the stranger their adventure becomes. Bikes disappear, maps prove useless and each gets to know a new side of the other. After several days of hiking, the two arrive at an old farmhouse inhabited by a woman and her adolescent son. The men receive a surprisingly warm welcome and soon begin to share the small family's daily routine and their secrets. For a while they enjoy an enchanted round of excursions and storytelling, flirting and games - until one day the new companions get too close for comfort.
