Synopsis
In case of pedophilia, the definition of the perpetrator and the victim is crystal clear. This clarity might however become ambiguous in one of these rare situations, in which the victim tries to pay back to the aggressor. As a child, the film character was abused by his neighbor. Later, as a teenager, he tried to take revenge on him twice. The roles are now reversed: the pedophile is afraid of his victim. For over ten years, they live in mutual, emotional dependence, which the film presents cross-cutting narratives of both the men and testimonies of their closest ones. The story based on hatred and fear seems to have turned into the vicious circle.
