Synopsis

Uli works as a leaseholder on a farm. Good weather and hard work yield plentiful harvests. Everything seems to be coming up roses for him and his family. The old farmer and his wife live in a small adjacent building. They too profit from Uli’s success. Yet things deteriorate quickly when Uli, on the advice of fake friends, gets involved in shady business, a storm destroys the harvest and Uli falls seriously ill. Although Vreneli tries to fight against the imminent ruin, the farm seems lost. Only when convalescent Uli admits his errors and shows repentance, the tide seems to turn… –Locarno Film Festival
