Every day, nineteen-year-old Jannes and his family drive their sheep across the Lüneburg Heath, as his father and grandfather have done for decades. But unrest is brewing in the region: the wolf is back. More sheep are killed, and with them conflicts in the village grow and quickly turn political. Can protecting one's homeland justify violence? As tensions rise and threaten to explode into vigilante justice, Jannes retreats to his sheep on the heath, where he keeps meeting a strange woman. Following her, he gradually uncovers the secrets of this supposedly idyllic landscape: brutality, nationalist ideology and a deep silence.
