Brief synopsis

12-year-old Dan has a difficult relationship with his single mother Nadja. Nadja pays 17-year-old Anna to look after Dan when she goes to work at night to earn a living. Anna is like an older sister and mother to Dan, but for some time now he has been concerned with more than sibling closeness. After an argument with his mother, Dan seeks love and intimacy with Anna, and Dan and Anna cross boundaries.
