CONTENT
The philosopher Lea and the artist Peter, a young, fresh-loving couple, are on a canoe on the Great Current. It is their first summer together and Peter wants to present his homeland to his western-born lover. For Lea, the river expedition is also a journey into the past of her family - after all, her ancestors were once expelled from just this area. Not least because of this, Leah's parents, driven by dark premonitions, had vainly advised against this undertaking and reminded of the carp people legend: the parable of the inhabitants of the Great Current, who one day would turn into creatures with fish heads and against all foreign, other-born and non-members mobilize.
At first, nothing seems to disturb the love happiness of the two young people and also the landscape around the Great Current shows a friendly and picturesque side. Gradually, however, the environment becomes increasingly inhospitable, darker, and even dangerous, and Leas and Peter's relationship continues to grow with the progress of events. Very soon, an unidentifiable carcass will trigger first chills and misunderstandings between them. An even greater burden of their relationship brings the meeting with Peter's former school friend, the young entrepreneur and impostor Edgar and his bride Kitty on their wedding - the mutual, even erotic attraction of the two couples and not least the fact that the four young people to the river Leave Leas reluctant with Edgars white yacht and carry the canoe only in tow, alienate Peter and Lea more and more: When it is evening and they go ashore in a secretive place, it comes down to the transformation of the couple. In the best alcoholic mood the last inhibitions disappear. While Lea seems to experience hallucinations in the forest, Peter, Edgar and Kitty make an erotic rapprochement. Although Lea can get her lover back and flee with him in a canoe in the night, but the betrayal has happened.
Unfulfillably, Leas yearns to "return to the beginning." Rather, she invited herself to dinner from Peter's parents, a millennial reactionary narrowness, a mountain of pastries, the collection of weapons from Peter's father and the cynical utterances of the composer Krachmeyer, a demonic-backward friend of the family. With the remark "Peter, I'm sorry" leaves Lea the eating society and gets into the election campaign of a demagogue, the xenophobic slogans secluded. She begins to hallucinate again and thinks she sees her parents approaching through the crowd.
Peter pulls Lea out of her hallucinations and accuses her of leaving his family table. The two people have finally become foreign - Peter finally strikes Leah down with a feint. A little later, Edgar and Kitty, sitting on the sunlit landing stage, watch the canoe drift by: escorted by the dumb Lea, Peter sits naked and bound in it and curses his home and his family. Then a mighty thunderstorm breaks loose, and in the wild, incessantly rising water, and between the pastures that seemingly come from all sides, Edgar and Kitty go dying.
It comes to the final argument between Lea and Peter. Peter wants to save the relationship too late, but Lea's decision to end the journey and leave Peter is final. Eventually, Peter jumps overboard, possibly already completely disgusted. Lea has been left alone in the realm of pastures. Nature becomes the mouthpiece of the victims of the great political violent crime on this stream, Lea summons nature and reflects on guilt and history.
