Alexander comes home from a posting abroad as a soldier, but restlessness soon drives him away again. Meanwhile his younger brother Jakob runs their parents' farm. When a friend of Jakob's hangs himself, Jakob cannot shake off his guilt. Their father spins tales of fantastic business ideas while secretly selling off the farmland piece by piece. Time passes and nothing seems to happen, and yet the whole drama of these people's lives unfolds, bound together by the land, family, gossip and longing, locked into where they come from and how they speak, and looking for redemption without knowing it.
