The father and his sons used to go fishing together, and the roar of the weir behind the inn where they lived filled the brothers' childhood with fantasies. Now the father is dead, and the older brother is losing his mind. The younger one returns to the place of his childhood on a river in the Eifel, stands in the water, fishes, and looks back on his brother's life, his own and the family's. A story that grows out of its landscape, whose main characters are two brothers, one going under and one coming home, but also the fish and the water of the river.
