SYNOPSIS

Vintner Rico lives with his wife and his two daughters at the foot of the Alps. Lilli perturbs the hitherto harmonious family life through her emergent sexuality. The child is turning into a woman and her fathers gaze loses its innocence. Frightened, Rico rejects his daughter. His suppressed desire torments him, while his rejected daughter adopts unusual ways to regain her place in childhood paradise, turning her father into a witness of her cruel games. Refusing to believe what he sees, he feels unwittingly guilty and becomes her accomplice. The mother tries to understand what is happening to her increasingly moody and aloof husband and is unsettled by her daughters coldness. Only the younger sister remains unaffected by it all: she experiences the joys of a happy first love with the outsider Ronny. Finally, the situation rears its ugly head.
