Die Liebe der Väter

When a father fights for his daughter. Peter has a daughter, but he does not have custody of her. Annika was two when he and her mother separated. Since then, every parental agreement has turned into a power struggle over the now thirteen-year-old. A New Year's vacation in Sylt becomes a crucial test of love for father and daughter. The trip to the island is also a return for Peter, the sales representative, to landscapes of the past. Here, he spent the summers of his childhood while his mother worked in a bookstore in Kampen. For the first time, he tries to tell his daughter about himself. It is the time between the years, the "Rauhnächte," when animals can speak and the gates of the spirit world are open. And on New Year's Eve, suddenly, Peter's entire existence is at stake.
