content

15-year-old Jakob Moormann is the son of Irina and Claas Moormann who is in the middle of puberty and the older brother of little Amelie. The parents have major relationship problems, the mother decides to separate from her husband. Jacob's school achievements suffer from this situation, but at the same time he begins a love affair with his 13-year-old classmate Hannah. In the turmoil of the separation phase, Jacob's mother carelessly lends his video camera to his classmates Henry and Erik. On the camera's memory card , the two find private recordings of Jacob's family and a scene in which he confesses his love to Hannah and a scene in which he masturbates .

Henry blackmailed Jakob with the videos in the presence of Tom and asked for five hundred euros, otherwise he would publish the scenes on the Internet. Jacob's father is a police officer and is committed to getting the card back. Jakob receives the memory card back, but is horrified to find that copies of the declaration of love and the masturbation scene are being distributed on the Internet via a social network . A short time later, the video clips were exchanged by numerous classmates on the cell phones. Jakob and Hannah are mocked and bullied, and he receives insults over the network. When Hannah perceives the masturbation scene, she distances herself from Jakob, her parents threaten to call in the police. Jakob tries desperately to prevent the clips from spreading through a fight in the schoolyard. Due to his injuries during this act and because a teacher is attacked in this situation, the situation comes to a head: Jakob's parents and the school learn about the clips and their publication, and the matter is discussed intensely at a parents' evening. At first Jacob's father was indignant about the recordings, but he sought contact with Irina Moormann, who had moved out in the meantime and had a relationship with a woman. Worrying about their son, they find each other again, but it becomes clear that they cannot overcome their problems through this alone. Both work together for Jakob at the school, but he is still excluded from classes. In a questionnaire by the class teacher and the headmaster, none of Jacob's classmates confessed to the publication of the video clips. Hannah also approaches Jakob again and confesses her affection for him. When they physically approach, Jakob becomes so intrusive that Hannah escapes from this situation. With the registration at another school and the parents approaching each other, Jacob's life begins to relax. However, he appears so severely traumatized that being recognized by a student at the new school puts a lot of strain on him. At the end of the film Jacob commits to the service weapon of his father suicide .

reception

“Home video is a remarkable film in many ways, and not just because of the subject. The realistic staging by Kilian Riedhof and the image design by Benedict Neuenfels allow you to experience first hand and understand what Jacob is going through. "

- Tilmann P. Gangloff , evangelisch.de

"Strong writing and directing performances as well as first-class casts characterize the television film of the year."

- German television award

“The film [...] impresses with its directness. Television seldom speaks the language of adolescents and seldom finds the right tone for the speechlessness that can reign between adults and adolescents. It's different here. Nothing seems posed, artificial, played. Not the way the young people deal with each other, not the relationship between son and father, which Wotan Wilke Möhring endows with the same immediacy as the young protagonist. "

- Michael Hanfeld , FAZ

"Director Kilian Riedhof knows perfectly well how to tell the individual fate of a pubescent young person in Germany in a credible way, realistically and without the dialogues that often seem embarrassing about youth issues on German television."

- Max Büch, taz

“Intense, exquisitely played and staged (television) drama about the medialization of all areas of life, which consistently ventures into internal emergency areas. Very precise and sensitive in the observation of the body, the film captures rapid changes in mood very precisely and makes the boy's psychological drama so vivid and tangible that one is completely captured by it. "
