Concealing a deep personal disappointment with her own marriage, Anneliese has meticulously planned a brilliant future for her son as a successful chemist, a destiny Florian never wanted. Out of a misguided sense of duty and a desperate need for his mother's approval, Florian doesn't rebel but instead suppresses his own true desire: to become a farmer.
The narrative centers on Anneliese (Senta Berger), who resides on a neglected, run-down farm with her 14-year-old son, Florian (played by Götz Behrendt). The family dynamic is fragmented from the start: Anneliese’s husband, Ludwig (Martin Lüttge), and her daughter, Bärbel (Anna Thalbach), choose to spend most of their time working and living away from home in the city. This physical distance leaves Florian entirely isolated with his mother, who channels all her thwarted life expectations into her son. Gefangene Liebe 1994 Film
