action

1983, in the Tyrolean Alps . Ingo and Nadja want to discuss their relationship problems in Nadja's divorced parents' ski hut and find themselves again. Suddenly, Nadja's brother Knut's volleyball team appears . Ingo, who would like to have a detailed relationship discussion, will experience how his relationship is cleared up. Lars, the younger of the two children and the most likable character in the film, will let his older brother Niklas instigate him to secretly torture cows. Every valve comes in handy for them, as their parents' self-realization trip is particularly stressful. Parents are too self-absorbed to notice what is going on in their children.

The volleyball group consists of several types from the alternative scene who enjoy skiing and board games . They are friends of Knut who want to relax. The message 'You have Knut' bursts into the exuberant mood. Apparently Knut has been arrested and is now starving in some jail. In fact, nobody knows how to behave in a time when demonstrations are part of everyday life in this scene and people think collectivistically. Continuing to have fun would be politically incorrect, but moping up is not the solution either. One faction continues to romp around on the slopes and in the forest, the other discusses its own situation and how one could come to Knut's aid. Since one has no further information, except that Knut is in the hands of the cops, conspiracy theories arise. Is he mistaken for a terrorist? The German autumn wasn't long ago. But before you start any relief operations, a perfectly placed Knut reappears and declares that everything was a mistake. Nevertheless, the fragile group structure breaks apart, even with Nadja and Ingo nothing is as it used to be.

criticism

"A refreshingly nostalgia-free retrospect, which subtly observes the smallest shifts in the network of relationships between the protagonists and makes the end of (social) political utopias recognizable from the perspective of different characters."
