Synopsis: A psychological film dealing with the relationship between an individual and a close-knit community, as well as with family ties. Forty-two-year-old Lucas works at a village kindergarten after the school he'd been teaching at is shut down. He's having a hard time coping with divorce and is looking forward to his teenage son, who wants to move away from his mother and live with him. Happiness comes to an end when the little Klara unintentionally accuses him of sexual harassment. The helpless man is immediately ostracized by nearly all of the town's inhabitants and doesn't know how to defend himself. After a time, the truth comes out and everything seemingly goes back to normal. A year later during a hunt, however, Lucas finds out that it's not over yet...
