Edgar Reitz (director of the HEIMAT Trilogy) continues his visionary journey
through German history with a domestic drama and love story set against
the backdrop of a forgotten tragedy. In the mid 19th century, hundreds of
thousands of Europeans emigrated to faraway South America. It was a
desperate bid to escape the famine, poverty and despotism that ruled at
home.
Jakob, the younger of two brothers, dreams about leaving his small village
for adventures in the wild Brazilian jungle. Everyone who encounters Jakob
is drawn into the maelstrom of his dreams: his parents, his belligerent
brother Gustav, and above all, Henriette, the daughter of a gem cutter
fallen on hard times. His brother's imminent return from military service,
however, is destined to shatter Jakob's world and his love for Henriette.
