Over the next ten years, Hermann becomes a talented musician, falls in love with an enigmatic cellist, struggles as an acclaimed avant-garde musician, and marries the girl next door. As in the original Heimat this deeply personal tale is set against a backdrop of turbulent historical times - the decade of the Sixties in this case.
