Allein der Gedanke

When farmer Mathias lets his eight-year-old daughter Nora take the agricultural machine´s wheel for a brief moment, an accident happens. Mathias assumes he crashed into an animal, but later on discovers that he must have hit a person. Being heavily traumatised Mathias strays through the night until he returns home in the next morning. Because of Mathias´ inability to tell his wife Inga about what´s happened, he starts to internalise the guilt - not least because he wants to protect Nora and the family. His inner turmoil creates an emotional distance, that seems to shatter the relationship between him and his family.
