The story centers on (portrayed by Senta Berger), who resides on a decaying, remote farm with her 14-year-old son, Florian (Götz Behrendt). While the rest of the family—the father and daughter—work and live in the city, Florian is left under the intense, singular focus of his mother.

Anneliese has meticulously mapped out Florian’s life: he is destined to become a successful chemist, a projection of her own ambitions that she seeks to realize through him. Although Florian outwardly complies to avoid disappointing her, his true passion lies in the very land they inhabit—he secretly dreams of being a farmer. As the weight of these "exaggerated demands" becomes unbearable, the emotional pressure cooker of their isolated life inevitably reaches a breaking point, leading to an escalation that threatens to tear the family apart.
