About this movie

A great love turned into a violent terror. Dominik is a man who lost it all: His wife, his son, his job, his house - even his pride. Without any money left and emotionally ruined he enters Berlin’s first and only shelter for battered men. Trying to find out how it all went so horribly wrong: While vacationing in Northern-Hessia Dominik meets the 18-year old Angela, with her gold-blonde hair, her pretty angelic face and her direct and perky manner. The sympathy grows into desire, then into passion. For love their time is too short and Dominik and Angela become a couple. After visiting Berlin a couple of months later Angela finds herself pregnant and Dominik proposes.
