Martin′s and his girlfriend′s Kathrin′s childhood comes to an abrupt end in 1920, when their Mecklenburg village is drawn into the events surrounding the Kapp putsch.

When the village starts to organize a strike against the putsch, soldiers arrive at the village to hold down the residents of the village.
