The Architect

Georg is a 58-year-old successful architect. When he learns by phone that his mother had died in his home village in the Alps, he initially did not inform his wife Eva about the death. Later he drives her and his adult children Reh and Jan to the funeral in the car. He had not been to his home village for twenty years; he hides the secret of having an illegitimate son there. At the funeral, he tries not to show his restlessness. When the return trip is blocked due to the weather and the family cannot leave the village, the pastor Georg and his family ask for the will to be opened. His great love Hannah, an ex-teacher and his illegitimate son Alex are also present. His mother used her grandson Alex as the sole heir. The truth about his double life comes to light. Eva and the children are stunned.
