Eight people (Brigitte Böttrich, Matthias Lier, Oliver Törner, Natalia Rudziewicz, Andreas Bichler, Alexandra Finder, Milena Dreißig and Frank Jacobsen) come together on a homestead in the middle of nowhere to celebrate a party.

Trapped in the pampas, gradually all the fuses burn out and so Anton's party finally turns into a big family battle..
