Jonathan also devotes himself to looking after his father Burghardt, who has cancer. But his father stubbornly sabotages his son s efforts to care for him. Jonathan finds it increasingly difficult to cope until they hire a young caretaker, Anka, to help. Jonathan and Anka fall in love; her experience of working at a hospice helps Jonathan to gain a new insight into his father s situation. But then Burghardt s long-lost boyhood friend Ron appears on the scene and his health visibly improves. The family sees Ron as an intruder; then Jonathan discovers that, many years ago, his father and Ron were deeply in love. All at once, the façade of cherished family beliefs crumbles and long-repressed secrets come to light. Can Jonathan forgive his father?
German gay-themed drama. Jannis Niewöhner stars in the title role, as a young man caring for his dying father (André Hennicke) whilst running the family farm. Tension and distance has characterised the two men's relationship ever since Jonathan's mother died when he was a boy, with his dad refusing to open up on the subject. However, Jonathan finds out more than he expected about his father's past when his former lover Ron (Thomas Sarbacher) appears at their home to say his final goodbyes. This sends the 18-year-old on a journey to uncover his family's complicated and secretive history as he tries to understand more about his father's life and come to terms with his death.
