Fickle hedonist Eric Steiner lived carefree in Berlin with girl friend Verena, ignoring family, commitment or responsibility. When brother Christoph, a dairy farmer in Sachsen-Anhalt, dies, heir Eric wants to sell the unprofitable estate and send Christoph's rebellious kids Nico and Leonie in foster care or state home. Visiting, Verena pushes him to take responsibility and drops her own bomb shell. Finding that a ruthless milk industry cartel drove debt-crushed Christoph to medicinal suicide, Eric declares war, refusing to sell to the bank or EU subsidy-parasitic neighbor Otto, and bonds gradually with his kid cousins.
