Storyline

Konraad, 83, has written a letter to his relatives that he wants to die. Maria, Konraad’s only child, refuses to discuss her father’s wish. Instead, she wants him to move to a nursing home. Her two grown daughters Sabine and Eva have problems of their own. Sabine has a troubled marriage and her eldest daughter Haas is too wise for her age. Eva is in therapy following an abortion. Ernst, Maria’s husband, is the only one who takes an interest. He decides to assist Konraad in performing his last wish. In doing so he defies his wife and increases the already existing distance between them. Konraad’s offspring are all very caught up in their own worlds. But they obviously have to take a stand in this matter and take a closer look at themselves. They find out there is not much left of the blood ties between them. They find themselves isolated and have all come to a dead end. Something has to change. WOLFSBERGEN is a film about people who seem to have lost the ability to love and to be loved. It is a kaleidoscopic portrayal of four generations of a family and their struggle to reach out to one another.
