About the event

Sixteen-year-old Sebastian enjoys his teenage life surrounded by forests, fields, and country roads: learning by day, and spending sultry summer days by the lake with beer and weed by night. Then, unexpectedly, Kolja, a boy his age, joins his family, supposedly the son of a recently deceased friend of his father. The boy immediately captivates everyone – and no one more than Sebastian. It feels like the beginning of a great love. But the two share a secret that forbids their feelings.

The service was very friendly and attentive, and the food was delicious! The wine pairing was perfect – we would definitely come back.” — Svenja Anzer, Google
