85-year-old Emil Frey lives in a dilapidated farmhouse in the middle of a modern new housing estate. The reason for the contrast in Stäfner Quartier Trübel is that Emil Frey does not want to leave his homeland, which was once family-owned. He defends himself legally against expulsion by the client. As long as this procedure continues, two worlds collide in the gloom: Here the old-established Emil Frey, who uses to burn his waste in the oven, there the newcomers, who dream of the idyll in the country. The contrast not only captivates with impressive images; it also raises questions: What is home? What's normal? How do we deal with people who are different from the mainstream?
