Lars, now grown up, was seduced as a teenager by Hans, a pederast. He feels abused; moreover, the act remained unsolved. One day he notices that Hans continues to successfully seduce young people in order to commit criminal offenses against them. Thereupon he begins to prevent and publish Hans' actions, whereby he does not shy away from serious crimes. Tim feels the ambivalence of this approach. Tim is a teenager who has entered into a relationship with Hans, although it is implied that paid sexual intercourse is taking place and without the knowledge that Hans is posting photos of him.

criticism
“A disturbing, engagingly played drama about child abuse that gets under your skin. The film does not take a clear position, but also shows the perpetrator in the role of victim. "
