After fourteen years of absence, Hein (32) returns to his home village on a small island, but the sworn village community no longer recognizes him. They demand a trial in which the stranger is to prove his identity. The trial divides the village and turns it into a witch's cauldron. But it also confronts Hein with his past and a life he actually wanted to leave behind. The realization of why the villagers don't recognize him hits him like a blow. (Nordmedia)
