Synopsis

The 17-year-old, withdrawn, Caya Renders suddenly decides to move to her father and his new wife. She vehemently denies contact with her mother. Her father feels helpless and believes that Caya is hiding something important from him. Nevertheless, because he is afraid of losing her trust, he tries not to push her to anything. However, after Caya has repeatedly admitted herself to the infirmary, although her health is safe, she is instructed by the attending physician to do psychotherapy. After a few conversations, Caya finally joins a therapy group that does not conform to conventional methods. She makes the acquaintance of five young people there, whose individual stories, not only shatters Caya, but shows her that the thornland has many facets. Perpetrators and victims are uncovered and the secrets are revealed piece by piece until only the truth remains. And Caya has to admit that sometimes the truth can hurt a great deal.

Help this story become visualized!

The Thornland is based on a true story.  It's the story about a girl who flees unexpectedly from her mother's care to live at her father's house. Something, however, holds her back to be open about her past.  Because of all the lies, she told before, it is difficult for her father, to discover the truth behind her escape. Many disturbing characteristics hint that awful things happened to her. After being diagnosed as an allegedly hypochondriac, she is pushed to do psychotherapy. There she meets five teenagers, who couldn't be more different. Each of them seems to have problems beyond repair but they all managed to survive so far and are now living normal lives. After a while, the girl is finally ready to reveal everything - even if the thorns could stitch her to death. She takes the chance into believing that the Thornland could maybe bloom into something beautiful. With all the culprits and victims exposed and the secrets revealed, she finally realizes that the truth hurts no matter what, but it's easier to breathe when there are people who believe in you.


This story is written as a series. The pilot shows the arrival from the main character at her father's house and a couple of the disturbing aspects who resolves later into the joining of the psychotherapy.
