In the idyllic river landscape of the Elbe, two sets of parents share a farm and the upbringing of their children. When 12-year-old Aaron disappears during a summer festival, unresolved conflicts within the community come to light: the boy is struggling at school, and the adults must also face up to their own lies and crises.
