Austrian drama examining the fraught dual existence of an outwardly respectable man who keeps a ten-year-old boy locked in his basement. Michael (Michael Fuith) appears to be an ordinary member of society. He holds down a steady, well-paid job, pays visits to his family & neighbours & maintains a clean & orderly house. However, unknown to his friends, Michael is a paedophile who keeps a young boy, Wolfgang (David Rauchenberger), in a furnished room in his basement. Though their respective roles of victim & abuser are clear, the duration of Wolfgang's captivity has led to a certain complexity developing in the relationship between the man & child. For all that Wolfgang loathes & resents Michael, he has also come to perceive him as his only human contact & source of company. Will the sanity of both survive the stresses that occur as Michael struggles to maintain his respectable facade?
