Jonathan (Jannis Niewohner) is an emotionally volatile young man living on a remote farm in rural Germany, where he cares for his sick father Burghard (André Hennicke). With this mother long dead, and his father dying of cancer, this 24-year-old only child is desperate to unlock a family closet full of secrets and lies before they are buried forever. Distracted by sizzling sexual chemistry with his father's young nurse Anka (Julia Koschitz), Jonathan only grasps the truth long after most movie viewers will have figured it out: Burghard is gay, but has kept his sexuality hidden from his son for decades.
