THE WESTERWALD SECRET

DAS WESTERWALD GEHEIMNIS 

 

experimental short film

A father and son tale about extreme bonds and the desire to break free. The cranky Hajo and his adult son Hasso since always live on an old farm in the Westerwald, completely shielded from the outside world. They make a living by occasionally selling the paintings of their late grandfather, who was a successful artist in his day. But the more Hajo tries to retain life with his beloved son as it has always been, the less he sees how close it is to falling apart.
