It's been years since Frank last returned to the village where he grew up, but he sets off with his small family to attend his mother's funeral. His wife and his son Tim immediately feel at home in the cottage they've inherited.

The death of his mother leads Frank Lechner back to the place of his childhood. Quickly, his wife and young son make themselves comfortable in the inherited parental house. Frank, however, has little sympathy for the rural idyll. The encounter with his former tormentor awakens traumatic memories within him. As in days of yore, Frank tries to ignore his mental pain and decides to throw himself into work. But then the past catches up with him in full force.—StevieB69
