Overal zit mens

Kasper Kind, a loner who looks after a forest and suffers from what he calls Waldschmerz, paces the labyrinth of his own thoughts, trying to tame its demons. He cannot stand the complacent herd mentality of humankind and burns with anger at the damage it has done to the living world: ailing trees, a landscape ruined for good, the single person facing oblivion. To stay sane he decides to kill someone, Max, once his lover and now a TV celebrity who embodies a people-pleasing humanism. His twin Eva, who studies how groups behave, and his campaigning niece Céline see things very differently.
