SYNOPSIS:

Philipp and Tobias grow up in the province of Saxony. Their childhood is marked by a lack of prospects in an otherwise vast landscape. Years later, when their hometown is to take in refugees, the situation escalates. While one brother withdraws into himself, the other seeks an outlet for his rage. And finds it.
