Unterleuten: The Torn Village

Set in the midst of untouched nature, surrounded by forests and grain fields in the Brandenburg province, the fictional village of Unterleuten is home to just 250 inhabitants. Thirty years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it appears to be a peaceful place for both locals and newcomers. However, the rural idyll in eastern Germany is deceptive. There are turnaround winners and losers, friends and enemies, neighbors who suspect one another, gossip, old secrets, and hidden conflicts. When the mayor proposes building a wind farm with a dozen wind turbines on a single plot of land owned by three different people to secure the village's prosperity and future, an open struggle ensues. Everyone sees the potential for personal financial gain. Alliances form, and friendships turn into enmities. Matters are further complicated by the arrival of an unscrupulous investor from southern Germany, whose involvement pushes tensions to a breaking point.
