Growing up in a rural idyll on his father's farm, teenager Johannes searches for his place in life.

Growing up in a rural idyll on his father's farm, teenager Johannes searches for his place in life.


When he falls in love with his best friend Marike, he no longer knows what he wants. At school, Johannes is the bumpkin. Neglected by his father and brother, he seeks the company of his best friend Marike. As their friendship gradually turns into love, Johannes no longer knows where he belongs.


This intense coming of age story was Henning Beckhoff's Master's Degree film at the Film University Babelsberg Konrad Wolf.


"At the center of this coming of age story is the contrast between modernity and tradition and the examination of the themes of friendship, family and emancipation. It is the time when everything happens for the first time. The first kiss, the first rush, and in this story, the first shot." (Director Henning Beckhoff)
