Synopsis

In 1637, the young Allgäu Melchior Riedmüller decides to leave behind the horrors of the plague and the Thirty Years' War and seek his happiness in Switzerland. In the emerging Rorschach, he founds a family with the Swiss Johanna Stübi. But when the war is nearing its end, Melchior decides to return to the Allgäu with his family. Their way through the depopulated and devastated land leads them to the abandoned Unterburkhartshof near the imperial city of Leutkirch. Soon they have to find that the yard holds a gloomy secret. But Melchior and his descendants lead the estate to new bloom with tenacity and diligence - until 1841 for Mathias Riedmüller and his family the leaf turns again in a dramatic way. A moving family saga from the Allgäu that spans over two centuries and is based on historical events.
