Himmelsheim

In the idyllic Bavarian village of Himmelsheim, a peaceful existence is disrupted when the German Federal Railway plans to build a high-speed rail line through their town, necessitating a massive tunnel. The construction upheaval shakes the lives of the villagers, triggering old conflicts and new rivalries. Amidst this chaos, Toni, a spirited traveler with a video mobile, becomes entangled in a love triangle involving Petra and Jonny, a driller working on the project. While most of Himmelsheim unites against the railway, the wily winemaker and council member, Münzel, secures a solution.
