Synopsis
Karl D. should just leave. The house, the village, society in general. When the repeat sexual offender moves in with his brother Helmut and his family, the neighbors react immediately. They fear – for their children and their own safety. Karl has just served a 15-year prison sentence, and is still considered dangerous. While a jovial daily gathering forms on the street, Helmut’s family threatens to fall apart under the pressure. Trapped in their own four walls, they have to face all the outside forces – the demonstrators, the local police and even the juvenile services, who consider taking Helmut’s son out of the family. When the situation almost escalates, first dissonances appear among the demonstrators. A few women start questioning their actions and decide to make contact with the family.
