Based on the Fairytale by Hans-Christian Andersen. A couple does not get a Christmas tree one year.

A eerie regional film from the Odenwald… In July 1969, while the first humans were landing on the moon, strange things were happening in Bickenbach. A farmer, who can’t believe that people are walking around on the moon, disappears without a trace while crossing a field. It seems as if the earth has swallowed him up. Thirty years later, he suddenly reappears. Two tourists find him and bring him home, where his wife has been waiting for him all these years.
