Fünf Tage Vollmond

OPIS

Johanna has lived on a tiny island in the North Sea for decades, where she runs a small pension with her daughter and her husband Gunnar. Johanna is happy and content in her little world - until one day a mysterious parcel arrives in the post. It contains a shard of glass and a letter that evokes a distressing memory in her long ago. The images stand out clearly in their minds: In July 1969, the Americans set off on their trip to the moon. The young Johanna, who already lived on the Hallig back then, is watching the start of the Apollo rocket with her husband Ole Thamsen on television. Then he and the children go on a short trip to Hamburg, while Johanna is looking forward to a few relaxing days. She treats the only guest in her guesthouse with the left: the hydraulic engineer Anton Brunner has to take soil samples on the island and in the mud flats so that the Hallig residents can soon be connected to the water network with a pipeline. The locals are not enthusiastic about this innovation and meet the engineer with great rejection. Only Johanna - who actually comes from Tyrol and feels a little behind the moon on her Hallig - is fascinated by the charming, good-looking man. There is a delicate rapprochement between the two. While the astronauts land on the earth's satellite, Johanna experiences a full moon for five days. When her husband Ole returns, she faces a difficult decision.
