Synopse

A sibling relationship is threatened by the brother’s paedophile activities: an impressively sensitive debut on a stigmatized subject. When Lukas (Jonas Holdenrieder) confides in his sister Mara (Luise Heyer) that he’s in therapy due to paedophile tendencies, the pair are resolute in their intention not to let it affect their strong relationship. Nevertheless, Mara is torn as to how close she can let him be to her two children. She starts to shadow him, all the way to the changing rooms of her son’s football team. Can Lukas really continue working as their trainer, even if he “only” feels attracted to young girls? Lukas feels unjustly treated by Mara. Then, when one of the boys brings his sister along to a training session, the situation threatens to escalate.
