After a dark event, Jakob, recently turned 18, drops out of school and starts to work in a factory for pesticides close to Vienna. Meanwhile his family grows increasingly distant from him. They are unable to face what happened, and isolating Jakob allows them to maintain a fake sense of harmony. Jakob suffers from loneliness more every day. Things start to change when Jakob forms an unusual connection with Marius, a factory colleague who is over thirty years older than him. But as the two of them draw closer, Jakob‘s past rises to the surface. In a desperate move, Jakob finds himself in front of Marius‘ doorstep at night, first acting playfully but quickly offering himself naked to him, searching for a second chance of a first time.
