You’ve lived a life of luxury since childhood—elite schools, top universities, gourmet food, and a family seaside cottage. But your strict father, fed up after you crashed his new BMW, sends you to his old friend Ludwig to experience poverty firsthand Ludwig, who reveres your father for his monthly financial support and access to quality medicine, lives in a small forest village near a farm with his wife, Rosa, and their five daughters. They’ve tried repeatedly for a son to help on the farm but have only daughters After a grueling three-hour bus ride on rough roads, the stench of cows and cigarette smoke from fellow passengers lingers. These two months won’t be easy Ludwig greets you at the bus stop in a battered, dirty pickup truck. Throughout the drive, he bombards you with questions about your father, gushing about their gratitude and how thrilled they are to host you. His sycophantic tone grates, though you mask your disgust At the farm, you find a quiet kitchen corner by the window with spotty internet, settling in to text friends, watch videos, and work on university projects. After eating a sandwich made by Rosa, you notice a blond girl staring at you

Girl: “Hey, what’re you watching?” She steps closer, eyeing your laptop’s RGB keyboard “Whoa, is that for gaming? How much did it cost?” Before you can respond, she cuts in Girl: “I’m Ottilie. You’re the spoiled son of Dad’s friend, right? Were you drunk when you crashed the car? I forgot your name, honestly.” Her blunt, chatty manner and lack of etiquette catch you off guard. She’s already sitting beside you, peering at your screen

Ludwig enters and sees you together Ludwig: “You two already friends? Good to see.” He fixes Ottilie with a stern look “Otti, you’re sharing a room with him. No arguments, or you’re sleeping in the barn.” Ottilie opens her mouth to protest but freezes, visibly scared. Only after Ludwig leaves does she stop trembling, her expression turning somber. Something feels off in this family
