action

1. Joseph & Hannah get to know each other

The drunk Joseph rioted in front of the betting office at dawn and angrily, but for no reason, kicks his dog Blouis several times in the stomach, which broke a few ribs - when he remained motionless on the floor, he sadly carried him home. The dog dies that night and Joseph buries him with a blanket in the small garden of his house. The next morning, neglected and dressed in dirty sweatpants, Joseph, as he has often done in the past, goes to a shop that also has a kind of post office counter to withdraw money, possibly his monthly or weekly social support. He upsets the business owner, who is about to hand over his money, with a scary and bizarre story. When the owner asks him to withdraw his money somewhere else in the future, Joseph becomes enraged and, when leaving the shop, throws a stone into the display, which is completely destroyed. Joseph then goes to a bar, gets drunk and starts another argument with other guests. When Joseph pushes one of the guests into the corner of the restaurant and asks him to put the billiard stick in his mouth, he only realizes how much he is panicking this person when he sees the other's contorted face. He quickly leaves the bar and is completely disturbed, desperately looking for a hiding place and finding it in a fashion store. He hides between the clothes, completely confused. There he meets Hannah for the first time, who works there as a saleswoman. Hannah is worried, but calmly asks Joseph if everything is okay with him, if he is hiding from someone, and is trying to calm Joseph down and engage him in a pleasant conversation. When Hannah says that Joseph could not stay there, he does not answer and when asked what his name is, he answers "Robert De Niro". When asked if he would like a cup of tea, he replies with the words "Fuck you". Hannah then begins to pray for Joseph, which touches Joseph and makes him cry. He leaves the shop later, the shop is already closing and slowly getting dark, together with Hannah, but without saying goodbye to her.

On the way home he meets Samuel, a boy from the neighboring area, who asks him where his dog is. Joseph lies to him by pretending that the dog was run over by a car. When the boy asks whether he is sad, Joseph sits down next to Samuel and answers in the affirmative. Samuel then asks him if he's going to kill the man who did it. Joseph replies that it was hit and miss and unfortunately the driver was not caught. When Samuel is called into the house by his mother, Samuel and Joseph say goodbye. At the same time Bod, the friend of Samuel's mother, leaves the building. With him, on a leash, he has an extremely aggressive dog, possibly a Pittbull. Pod says goodbye to the boy with the words: "Hey you ass, the dog is going to eat you". Joseph looks at the man in amazement, which he replies with the words "What are you staring at, asshole". When Joseph got home, he saw the grave where he buried his dog that morning. At the same moment he is attacked from behind by three men with the words "There he is". They badly beat Joseph with their bare hands and a baseball bat.

Injured and with a contorted face in pain, he wakes up in his garden at dawn and, scarred by the blows and badly battered, drags himself in front of Hannah's shop. There he falls asleep and it appears that he is waiting for Hannah. When she comes to work, she gently touches Joseph's arm and wakes him up with the words "Hello, sorry, you are lying on my roller shutter and I have to open it now" and asks him "Do you want to come in?" Joseph closes his eyes in resignation, stands up and Hannah takes him to her shop. There she offers him a cup of tea. When Hannah asked what happened to him, he replied that he fell off his bike. Hannah suggests that Joseph go to the hospital. However, he replies that the injuries heal by themselves. Hannah smiles and reveals to Joseph that she prayed for him yesterday. Josoph replies disrespectfully with the words "But that didn't bring shit much". Hannah replies "I think so" and Joseph replies, "But he didn't hear her". When Anna asked why he came to her, Joseph replied with the words "purely by chance". Hannah replied that there was certainly a reason God should forgive him for something. Joseph begins to smile smugly and says. "I don't want anything from this bastard". Hannah replies to Joseph with the words "God loves you", which Joseph dismisses with the words "really". At Hannah's words "You are a child of God", Joseph rages himself: "God is not my shitty dady. My dady was a bastard. He knew that very well. God still thinks he is God. Nobody tells him anything else" Hannah then asks why Joseph is so angry with God and Joseph angrily replies why Hannah is so damned stupid. He's known people like Hannah all his life. They would be great do-gooders. Charity promoter. They bake cakes and save a shitty soul. You never ate dirt. You don't know what it looks like outside. You have no idea. Hannah reacts sadly to Joseph's angry words. She doesn't immediately understand the question of where Hannah lives. Joseph gets even angrier and repeats the question: "I asked where you live. It's a damn simple question. Are you suddenly deaf?". Hannah replies, angry and yet determined: "Mainas es estate". Joseph starts to laugh smugly, repeats the address several times and asks cynically what it would be like in a five-room house with a double garage, English lawn, a permanent coffee party every morning, shit live-style Mainees estate. How is it up there? Everything in butter? What are you doing down here anyway? Why this shop? Such a young woman. No family? No children? Hannah begins to cry and sobs back that she and her husband cannot have children. Joseph answers provocatively "Can or not". Hannah is silent and looks at Joseph sadly. Joseph breaks the silence by saying, "That fills a void, doesn't it? If you do enough good deeds, God will fix your inner life. Please." Hannah loses her composure crying. Joseph continues to provoke by asking Hannah if her husband can't get any more up. Hannah cannot and does not want to answer anymore and Joseph gets up and leaves the shop with the words "Thank you for the tea. I will pray for you", leaving Hannah completely distraught.

Joseph goes to the nearest pub, drinks his first beer early in the morning and blames himself for the behavior that Hannah has just shown. In response to Joseph's loud and aggressive self-talk, the waiter asks him if everything is okay. Joseph says yes, makes sure that no one sees him, and begins to cry.

On the way home, Hannah is sadly sitting on the upper deck of the double-decker bus. When she gets off the bus, she doesn't go home straight away, but sits alone on a park bench near a children's playground and with happy eyes watches a mother rocking her baby. But Hannah's face immediately becomes sad again and she strolls home. She stops just before her house, and you can tell that it is not easy for her to walk the last few meters. At home she drinks a glass of red wine and looks frustrated at the wedding photo, which hangs oversized in the living room. She is already sleeping on the living room couch when her husband James comes home late in the evening with his red sports car and the license plate MISS KMM. James enters the apartment and calls "Hannah" several times, switches the light on and off several times to make sure that Hannah is actually sleeping, stands in front of the sleeping Hannah and urinates on her. When he's finished, he leaves the living room. Hannah then opens her eyes.

The next morning Hannah cleans the sofa. When James comes down the stairs, he asks Hannah why she spent the last night on the sofa. Hannah replies that she fell asleep. James wants Hannah to accompany him to the bedroom. Hannah says no, pretending to have already showered. James then says that she is "just getting dirty again." Hannah replies that she still has a lot to do before going to work. James replies, "It's no work," and tries to kiss her on the neck. Hannah pushes James back with a disgusted look on her face and the words "Don't". This means with hurt pride: "Then I'll just get one down". Hannah is disgusted and continues cleaning the sofa.

During the day, Joseph visits his father, who is terminally ill in a room in his sister Marry's apartment. When Marry Joseph brings a cup of tea into his father's hospital room, she prepares the father's bed and looks at him briefly. When Joseph wants to start a conversation with Marry with the words "I still remember when you were little", Marry hastily leaves the room. Joseph's father, whose voice is difficult to hear under a breathing mask, stammered excitedly to Joseph that "he was screwed and Marry would hate him". Joseph replies that Marry does not hate her father, on the contrary he loves her very much. But his father suggests that she does. He will go to hell for doing some bad things. Joseph replies that many others have also done bad things and uses his hand to warm his father's chest, who then slowly calms down. Joseph then leaves the apartment without saying goodbye to his sister.

2. Joseph and Hannah learn to love each other

That morning, Joseph returns to Hannah's shop, who is about to open the shop. Joseph enters the shop with the words, "Listen, honey, I've come". He is interrupted by her with the words, "My name is Hannah". Josephs tries to apologize for his behavior yesterday by saying "I wanted to say that I was sorry about yesterday and a few things I said were wrong". Hannah simply replies: "Can we go out here" they both go to a pub together, where they have a beer.

Joseph asks Hannah to say a prayer for his father. She agrees and says a prayer.

The two now get to know each other better. Joseph learns that Hannah is regularly badly mistreated, beaten and raped by her husband James. After another violent argument with her husband, who beat her to the point of unconsciousness and then raped her, Hannah seeks refuge with Joseph. Both give each other a lot of time and this results in a very empathic dialogue about Joseph's life, in which Hannah first learns more about his private life, his former wife, who died 5 years ago, and the first feelings develop between the two. Joseph senses his feelings for Hannah and tries to nip them in the bud by throwing Hannah out of his house and escorting her home to her husband. In front of the house Hannah begins to cry heavily again and Joseph runs away. He follows her and they decide to go back to Joseph's home.

3. Everything out of control

Joseph then takes Hannah's house keys and wants to confront her husband James without talking to her about it. When Joseph enters the house and at first does not find anyone there, he strolls through the house and is horrified to find that James is dead in the bedroom, with a knife in his throat, next to the bed. He suspects that Hannah killed James the night before she took refuge with him a few days ago. He leaves the house immediately and wants to confront Hannah with the words "I wanted to fix the shit for you" at home. This first denies the act, but then falls into hysterical, desperate weeping, which is introduced with the words "Who are you that you can judge me. You don't even know what he did to me". Then she breaks down completely with the words "God help me" and "Can you please hold me".

4. The end and the new beginning

12 months have passed. These are told by Joseph himself in the retrospective and are the content of a letter he writes for Hannah, who has to serve a prison sentence for the murder of her husband. After the neighbor's aggressive dog nearly kills the neighbor boy, Joseph loses total control of his life. He feels responsible for the fate of the boy and believes that he should have protected the boy from the dog and his master much earlier. Joseph kills the neighbor's dog with the baseball bat and sits with the dead dog covered in blood in a wing chair in his garden. Joseph holds his hand in front of the dog's eyes. He will be tried for this and will have to spend time in prison. Joseph received a lot of encouragement for his deed through letters that people sent him to prison. He stopped drinking. Every week he lays new flowers on her grave for his wife Pauline and prays for her. He asks to see Hannah in prison.

The film ends with Joseph visiting Hannah in prison and the two holding hands and smiling at each other.
