Synopsis
Otto, a young, working-class boy, is befriended by an older, somewhat malevolent stranger during the stultifying days of his summer vacation. Ominous events escalate until the boy first spies the stranger seducing his young neighbor and later sharing an intimate moment with his mother. It is not until Otto's father is the victim of a bad accident that the stranger's secret is revealed.
