Family drama meets social portrait.

South Tyrol, 1961: The northern Italian region is shaken by a series of separatist bomb attacks. While the young farmer's son Paul wants to escape the constraints of his village and study painting, his older brother Anton fights uncompromisingly to protect the German-speaking minority - with violence if necessary. After Anton is exposed as one of the assassins, he flees, leaving his farm and family behind. Paul reluctantly postpones his own plans in order to support Anton's wife Anna and their young son. As the situation escalates and the Italian police crack down, Anna increasingly begins to resist the patriarchal structures of her environment. Paul, on the other hand, has to make a decision - between family loyalty and personal self-realization.
