Synopsis

A „simply life „ vacation at a remote cabin in the black forest turns into a nightmare for two young couples.

Looking for an adventurous change from their comfortable everyday lives, Eva, Sabine, Jürgen and Mike
head off for a one week getaway in an abandoned farmhouse in the dephts of the Black Forest.
Secluded and surrounded by thick and mysterious forests, the farmhouse „Wunderlehof“ is anything but easily accesible.
The young vacationers get dropped off by the forest ranger. After he leaves, they are on their own. Equipped only with the
most essential provisions for a week´s stay and a DV camera – their only concession to modern technology.
