Die Jagd nach dem Brot

The year 5500 BC in what is now northern Germany. The young chief's son Kierk, a tireless ranger from the Gojdo hunter-gatherer people, is betrayed by his stepbrother in a competition for the love of the fire warden's daughter and is forced to flee the tribal area. Strangers, settlers who are farmers and ranchers in search of fertile farmland find him badly injured. They take him to their settlement in the south and nurse him back to health. A neighbouring land owner has broken the centuries-long peace among the settlers and allied himself with a hunter people, the arch-enemies of the Gojdo. The first war in Northern Europe breaks out. Kierk must learn to be a leader and he must choose between the daughter of the fire warden and the daughter of the land owner.
