Innocent-faced Sascha struggles with containing his anger and emotions. What starts with stealing money to take a girl to a concert, turns into a long string of escalating criminal acts and violent incidents. Sascha discovers he’s unable to control himself, his impulses and his violent outbursts, despite being a "good kid"; he looks after his mother when she has an accident, and begins a job in tree felling. But nothing seems to be enough to keep him from following his fascination with the skinheads, least of all his best friend.
