Hierankl is the name of a Bavarian "Bergbauernhof", i.e., a solitary farm in the mountains with nothing else around but Alps and cows and nature. When Lene comes home, she meets Lukas, her beloved father, Rosemarie, her rejecting mother, her brother Paul, plus a dark and sinister farm-hand.

They're getting even better when Gètz, a long-missed friend of her father's, arrives by surprise: Lukas 60th birthday is to be celebrated, and Gètz has come back to congratulate, it seems. Lene and Gètz attract each other, despite the significant difference of their age, and they are having a good time. Then, birthday comes.
