A desperate mother has designed a strange plan to help her son. The young man suffers from a destructive fantasy life revolving around death and violence. In order to change these disturbing obsessions, he engages in his mother’s self-devised therapy program.
When a young neighbor is enlisted in this program without her knowledge, things start to fall apart.
“ANALYTICAL, INTELLECTUAL AND INTERESTED MORE IN THE OFF-KILTER MOTHER-SON RELATIONSHIP THAN IN HIS VIOLENT URGES, THIS IS FILMMAKING WHICH SHARES A KINSHIP WITH DIRECTORS LIKE MARKUS SCHLEINZER OR MICHAEL HANEKE.”
