Windland

Oskar, a forester, lives with his terminally ill father in a solitary house near a picturesque village. Twenty years earlier, Oscar's younger brother Theo was caught with an under age girl, sent to jail for several years and broke off all ties with his family. The peaceful village is suddenly traumatized by the brutal kidnapping and subsequent murder of an eight-year-old girl. Oskar's father dies and Theo returns home for the first time. The villagers are convinced he is the murderer. Oskar, also worried about the safety of his own 8-year-old daughter who lives with his estranged wife, begins his own investigation...
