During a family weekend in the Veluwe, the atmosphere quickly spirals out of control as old arguments, new loves, and intriguing secrets surface.

When the Polman family heads to the Veluwe for an old-fashioned family weekend, Evert (Paul de Leeuw) hopes to reconnect with his children—Hannah (Renée de Gruijl) and Pieter (Martijn Kardol)—despite his divorce from Marjan (Annick Boer). But Marjan isn't coming alone: she has brought along her new partner, Jan Dirk (Bart van Veldhoven), a hyper-enthusiastic life coach and sauna master who wants nothing more than to become part of this family.

Heated discussions about family history, retirement, parenthood, careers, the environment, private care homes, and the future ensure that tensions quickly rise during the weekend. Between shuffleboard, strict house rules, and infusion sessions in the Finnish Löyly, the family makes frantic attempts to keep things pleasant at all times. But how long will they manage? Who is afraid of the truth? And who is afraid of the Veluwe wolf? In a world that is constantly in flux, full of chaos, the threat of war, climate change, AI developments, and polarization, there is at least one certainty: the place where you come from. And the people around you whom you call family. Will this family still reach a shared happy ending, or will they remain stuck in this forced family constellation? And what about those wolves outside; can't we just shoot them?
