There is an uneasy peace in post-war Germany, and old rivalries simmer beneath the surface. Eleven-year-old Toni lives with his mother in a small vilage by the river, in the "gold washer's house." Like his grandfather, Toni loves searching for gold, but old hostilities continue to simmer between families, and a conflict grows between Toni and the other village children. Based on the novel by Josef Einwanger.

By watching with a critical eye and discussing with fellow jury members, film takes on a whole new dimension." - Saskia Vaisey
