Directed by Eva Urthaler
Sebastian and Paul are
two teenage troublemakers that spend their time drinking,
stealing and beating people up. It’s the thrill,
the sense of testing their limits... and the wolf-like
nature deep inside that attracts them to each other.
From the outset, Sebastian emerges as the dominant figure
in
the pair, because he always wants to go one step further
than Paul. One day they abduct 30-year-old Sonja and
drag her back to an abandoned factory. But now what should
they do with her? Paul becomes more distant with Sebastian
as he starts to feel attracted to Sonja, trying to help
her as much as possible. While Sebastian, not admitting
even to himself that he has fallen in love with Paul,
feels
hurt and jealous... and becomes capable of anything.
