A father sets off with his young son, back to the hill country he comes from and the places of his childhood. Travelling with them is the fate of the men in his family, who all took their own lives: great-grandfather, grandfather, father, drowned, shot, hanged. He has moved away, studied and risen in the world, but none of it has set him free. Perhaps going back and remembering will help, since whoever drives back has to take every bend again. The journey leads into a dark family history and into the German past, often with unexpected humour.
