Abel and Ursel Hradschek (Fritz Karl and Julia Koschitz) have a country hotel in Oderbruch in the state of Brandenburg. Business is bad, the hotel has debts and the Hradscheks are living beyond their means. The pressure increases when a creditor announces that he is no longer willing to wait for his money and will come and visit them. When Hradschek discovers the skeleton of a World War II soldier under a pear tree, he hatches a perfidious plan. With the help of his wife, he arranges the „perfect murder“ of his creditor. And indeed, no-one seems to suspect anything, not even the village policeman (Devid Striesow), who fancies Ursel. Then she starts having terrible nightmares. And Abel has underestimated the inquisitiveness of their neighbour Jeschke (Katharina Thalbach). (Filmfest Hamburg)
