Held captive in his mother's house with a shackle on his leg, 27-year-old Benjamin serves a ten-month custodial sentence. The small house in the outskirts of Vienna is cramped.

The distance that has built up between them over the years gradually gets smaller again. A totally different kind of family reunion.
