All Roads Lead Home

The wealthy widow Tilla Haidt lives on her estate in Schleswig-Holstein. She mourns her missing son Michael. One day, a young man suddenly appears at her door and changes her whole life. He is also called Michael, is an orphan, and is looking for shelter with her. Gradually, he becomes a substitute son to her, and in her imagination even her real son. But bitter disappointments await her.
