content
In her debut film, Alexandra Sell introduces four personalities who, because of their worldview and character, represent a piece of the German province. A strange world is documented by the four protagonists between Cologne and Bonn, as are the two off-speakers. For one year, the film follows the lives of the four protagonists, for whom the promontory is the center of the world.
Hans Wilhelm Dümmer is the pastor of the villages of Bornheim-Hemmerich and -Rösberg, two villages that have been enemies for a long time, which he would like to reconcile and merge into one community. During the year of observation, he tried in vain numerous tricks to help the villages grow together again.
Mark Basinsky is the youngest member of a bachelor club. He dreams of studying fashion design in Milan. He doesn't fit into the village community, even if he is very careful not to miss a bachelorette party. In the course of the film he made it to Cologne and still lived in the village.
Giuseppe Scolaro is the first chairman of a marching band and, to his own regret, an Italian. He would like to join the Bund, which he succeeds despite being overweight.
Sophie Rey is a crime writer who self-publishes local crime stories. However, these do not have any particular success, especially not in their village. She gets along well with the residents of the village, only they don't want to buy her books.
