NEUES LAND

After a space of several years, geologist Ina Sedlitz comes back to her home village of Neukirch which has undergone a transformation from a former lignite mining area into a popular tourist destination. Ina wants only one thing: to transfer her inheritance from the family hotel to her niece Mara and finally put the past behind her. But when she is asked to prepare a geological report on the artificially created lake, she encounters dangerous instabilities – and the shadows of a long-suppressed family secret. When Mara begins asking uncomfortable questions, the family‘s carefully guarded silence begins to crumble. Ina faces a decision that will change everything – for her, for Mara and for an entire village.
