It is about 400 years that members of the Wanner family own extended farmland high in the Austrian Alps. The last living descendant is Heinz Wanner, age 82, who has no children of his own. In order to secure the maintenance of his farmland in the way he thinks proper, the aged farmer is looking for a successor. His choice falls upon Johannes, 22 years young. Now two personalities communicate with each other, which seem to come out of different worlds. For forty years Heinz Wanner ran his farm all alone and in the way it was done when he himself was young. That means he works with old fashioned farming tools and produces most of his daily food himself. His farming techniques are practically unknown nowadays and certainly no longer in use. Johannes appreciates the old farmer and is eager to learn from him how things were done formerly.
