action
Eva's father Anton suffers from a faint attack during a hunting trip, the third one this month. But he doesn't even think about resting or about the operation, which should have been carried out a long time ago, instead he plans his birthday party with all of his friends; half from the shooting club. Eva lives with her husband and two children - 18-year-old Nina and 15-year-old Jonas - in Berlin. You have hardly any contact with Eva's parents. Too much has happened in the past for that. Peter, Eva's husband, used to be in a relationship with Eva's older sister Marie, who died giving birth to Nina. Then Eva took care of Nina and Peter. Helpfulness turned into love and they both married. Anton could never forgive Eva and Peter for that.
Since Anton's birthday could be his last, Eva really wants to go there with her family. To avoid disputes with Eva's father, Peter stays in Berlin, but then changes his mind and travels to later. On his birthday, Jonas overhears a conversation between Eva and her father and learns that Nina is only his half-sister.
Eva also meets Berno, her childhood sweetheart, again at the party. He works as a national park ranger in the Bavarian Forest. He suggests taking a day trip to the Bavarian Forest the next day . The day starts nicely. Berno shows the family many beautiful corners, whereby the old familiarity between Eva and Berno Peter does not go unnoticed. After an argument between Jonas and Peter, Jonas runs deeper into the forest and meets a group of people smugglers. When Berno confronts the smugglers, he is shot and the horror trip for the family begins. Because the smugglers don't want to be discovered, Eva, Anton, Nina and Jonas have to die. Anton faces the smugglers and gives the other three the opportunity to escape. A merciless hunt through the national park begins and a fight for bare survival begins, with Nina finding out who her real mother is.
criticism
“The idea on which the film, directed by Marcus Rosenmüller is based, gets full marks. A thriller set in the Bavarian Forest National Park that uses what Germany has to offer in terms of images and association space, and it takes advantage of the fact that the national park is located on a border. On the one hand a popular excursion destination, on the other hand impenetrable jungle - there has never been anything like it. What the film fails because of its narrative ambition are its images. They are too much like poorly lit postcard motifs. There is no creep. The visual potential that the landscape could harbor remains wasted. "
“[…] It is above all the dialogues that frighten the audience more than the evil smugglers. Because Katharina Böhm and Hans-Werner Meyer must have seen that while reading the script, no mercy for them! They could not save anything with this Rambo game of a mother in the Bavarian Forest. "
