He flees and is hidden by the young, reclusive artist Marie Jäger, but is then caught by the police and charged with premeditated murder. The case is taken out of the hands of the criminal investigation department by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution, which constructs an act of political revenge on behalf of the communists.

In the late 1950s, the collectivization of agriculture is in full swing in the East German village of Willshagen on the German-German border. Those in charge have to face many obstacles, especially from a large-scale farmer who is unwilling to join the co-op. All of a sudden, mysterious men in a fancy car appear in the village and show an interest in the rundown manor house. Gossip spreads quickly, and some villagers think there will be a re-parceling of properties and a land swap with West Germany. They assume everything will go back to how it used to be and even expect the count to return to his manor. In preparation, the situation in the village escalates at a fevered pitch.

Story of two young people: Andrea and Christian, called Krischan. The movie and their adventure begins when they enter an old town by the sea: Stralsund. The young people will experience many a surprise, and the real adventure is a journey of discovery for both of them; they want to find out what motivates the other, what goals they have and which character traits dominate. This also brings them face to face with the past, for example when Klein-Christian ate from Master Zillmann's liverwurst tree and was abandoned by the Snow Queen Luise, who had a heart of stone. Or Krischan meets Little Andrea, who always gnawed at her pigtails because she was afraid of her cheeky Uncle Albert. But now the two are turned towards the present and the future, and their behavior shows that their young love will last.
