The story takes place in the countryside near Thuringia state in East Germany before the summer of 1990. Maria, who is about to turn 19 and her boyfriend Johnannes lives on Johnannes's parents' farm, would rather immerse herself in books than focus on graduation. With the reunification of Germany, people have a feeling that a new era is coming. When Maria met Henner, a farmer who lived next door, Maria had a strong passion with this wayward, attractive man twice her age. In an atmosphere full of unknown, love is born: a secret passion full of longing and desire that engulfs everything on the way forward.
