action
At the beginning Johann sits alone in a hallway and tells a parable about a fox and a hare.
In the following scene, Johann and Robin take a bike tour through the Brandenburg Uckermark after they had traveled there by train . At first they spend the night in the forest and try to pull through the landscape with their little luggage and useless tent. But after a short time in the deep forest, the two lose their orientation and with it their bikes. After a night game between the two, in which Johann von Robin is handcuffed and tenderly touched on the chest, open caresses take place on a motorway bridge in daylight. Now that they are completely without supplies, they surprise a couple who are driving through the forest and immediately ask them to eat. They refuse indignantly, but - due to Robin's threatening behavior - reluctantly give in and give them their sandwiches.
On their foray through the forest, Johann and Robin discover a farm, which they first rummage through for useful things. While Johann locks up his friend Robin for fun, the young person Henri, a resident of the farm, surprises them with an air rifle and locks them up without further ado. Grit, Henri's mother and owner of the farm, frees her from the cellar and invites her to eat and sleep. Johann and Robin use the night to sleep together. The next morning, Grit and Robin are doing target practice in the yard to pass the time. Meanwhile, Johann talks to Henri about his relationship with Robin and comes out to Henri as homosexual . The four protagonists slowly get closer and spend day and night together. You and your guests drive wildly through the green of the Uckermark in Grit's car. Around a campfire, Grit tells the others a strange story that is said to have happened in the surrounding woods centuries ago. The next day, Grit wakes the two motherly and invites them to take a boat trip with Henri; however, she does not come along. Henri shows the two of them the diversity of the landscape. Reluctantly, Johann and Robin show their closeness to each other in front of Henri. When they arrive at a lake, the three of them swim, fish and chat. Johann decides to go alone to a nearby wooded area and try unfamiliar berries, while secretly watching Robert touch Henri's upper body.
Back on the farm, they talk to Grit about their homosexual sexual practices , about family and the rowan berries that Johann naively ate without knowing that they are poisonous. After a little dance between Robin and Grit in the presence of Johann and Henri, Robin lies down in bed with Johann, who is visibly ill from eating the berries, and tries to get closer to him. Johann, however, seeks distance from him. The next day, Johann reads a book for himself that deals with the tragic story of a baron who sent out a search party in 1751 to find his missing son. Shortly thereafter, Johann decides to leave the farm and go back into the forest. Robin doesn't like the idea very much and claims he is "funny". Nevertheless he follows Johann. You find the tent you left behind and fasten it to the surrounding trees with tension ropes. Robin asks Johann how long it is still going to take and tells him that it won't do anything. During the night Johann wakes up to strange noises in the forest. Suddenly he is attacked. After a slight defense, he falls over the rope construction of the tent and remains lying down.
Johann now appears again in the opening scene of the film. He sits at a table in the presence of two doctors in an observation room and undeterred leads to his parable about the fox and the hare.
criticism
The Taz writes: “Tailwind is a radically open film. He wants to go outside and at the same time he takes the freedom to continue what he started in one way and in another. "
The Infoportal Kino.de states on its website: "Seldom has a German film captured the [Brandenburg] landscape in such a picturesque and poetic way."
