Freiburg, the most beautiful city in the border triangle, is being further densified – the surrounding villages are also to be developed in the near future. One day, a corrupt investor brings a group of well-heeled city dwellers to the Hochburg estate to show them the unusually idyllic location of the planned luxury residential district. But something is not right here: Why is the investor in such a hurry? What does the farmer know anyway? What is to become of him, his farm and his animals? Who is the investor in cahoots with? The animals, extremely clever cows, pigs and chickens, have smelled a rat … they warn the townspeople and join them in the investigation …
