World

In Fee's family, present connections must be questioned when secrets of past relationships come to light. At some point, everyone involved has lived in the Mühlbach valley, and after rifts and conflicts, some have moved away from there. Olga with her children Fee and Hugo to the city, Fee's father, Zoran, with Nica, his new partner, to Holland. Hugo's father, Finn, has stayed.
Then Olga's grandfather calls the family to Mühlbach valley to tell a long overdue truth. Fee doesn't like this at all, she would rather go to school and spend the weekend with Zoran in Holland. But she has to come to terms with her patchwork family, its secrets, different places where loved ones live, new contacts and in the end even a move to the country. For they all go their own ways, but like toads they sooner or later return to the Mühlbach valley
