The Pauländers are smallholders oppressed by Big Agribusiness, fighting for their survival. 15-year-old Paule suffers under his authoritarian dad, who's hopelessly in debt, facing financial ruin, and lets his pent-up frustration out on his son, beating and oppressing him. Paule Pauländer manages to escape but fails to gain a foothold in freedom and ultimately returns home - where disaster awaits. (Filmfest München)
