Niki, who works as a doctor in Munich, arrives in a village house, where his father is dying. Niki’s brothers and sisters follow him shortly after: Mizzi, Vito and — quite unexpectedly — Kyra. Niki and Vito have not seen Kyra since the dissolving of a hippie commune, in which they used to live with their parents. This was more than twenty years ago. Mizzi has been completely unaware of the existence of her sister. The four adults start to go deeper into their family secrets that have been kept hidden for so long. To what extent are we responsible ourselves for the meaning behind the concept of “family”?
