Volga region, 1920-1930s. Jacob Bach - Russian German, teacher in the Gnadental colony. He turned away from the world a long time ago, raises his only daughter Anche on a secluded farm and writes fairy tales that miraculously and tragically come true.
"I wanted to tell about the world of the German Volga region - bright, original, alive - about the world, once created by newcomers in a foreign country, and today lost in the past. But this is also a story about how great love gives rise to fears in our heart and at the same time helps to overcome them.
