The film starts good. Great atmosphere pictures and actors. But the story has problems with logic. It tries to point out the German guilt complex but is in fact a mystery thriller. The story does not evolve properly. At the end the main actor dies and that's it. Very poor plot that leaves you just disappointed. Typical German film. Poor story. Awful morals. Bad people with no hope to getting better. The ending of the story confirms human kind is bad and will always be. For the viewers disappointing and empty. For the film maker great stuff to get fame and reputation. For the German film review of course a great movie- if you see it differently you might be nazi.

Plot summary
As a forestry student doing an internship, Anja Grimm ends up in that remote area in the Upper Palatinate Forest, where she went on vacation with her parents as an eight-year-old girl and her father disappeared without a trace. Her job is to take soil samples to create a soil map. At one point in the forest floor she comes across abnormal irregularities. Not long after their arrival, a brutal murder occurs. Anja soon arouses suspicion and hostility not only among the villagers with her suspicion that the perpetrator knows something about her father's fate and with her questions about the atypical soil composition in the forest clearing. Even the police react extremely reservedly to their investigations. And when it turns out that the young woman can read the signs of the forest like an open book, forces mobilize in the village who are apparently ready for anything because there is a dark secret that needs to be kept.

Awful story with no end
It's never over
User What-a-punk has already said everything I could say about the movie. I would just like to add that you can see from the obviously not a few negative reviews that the story also touches those people who find its core very unpleasant and disturbs them in their self-image. And that's a good thing.
We must never stop doing that.
Especially now, when achievements in respect, humanity, human dignity and modern social behavior that were long thought to be secure are once again being called into question by a growing primitive minority with crude slogans, unbridled anger and fervent hatred.
This story is a good illustration of how false feelings of homeliness and tranquillity could and still can be the basis for the worst horrors.
