Synopsis

Seventeen year-old Anton, his mother, Luzia and her lover, Paul go for vacation on the coast of Brittany. Luzia is hoping for a new start in her relationship with Paul, but is also looking for a way to get closer to Anton from whom she has been increasingly estranged since his father's death. But Anton feels uncomfortable from the very start of the trip. As the harmony between Luzia and Paul increases, Anton distracts himself with the jagged coastal landscape. It is there that he meets the mysterious David. Unlike Anton, David, is afraid of nothing. He exposes Anton to a world without rules. Anton finds David's strength and self-confidence fascinating. Through David, Anton meets Katja and is immediately attracted to her. He senses that she feels lost just like himself. Together, Katja and David draw Anton into a vortex of emotions where sex, seduction and violence all play a part. Meanwhile, Luzia and Paul fail in their efforts to restart their relationship with each other and with Anton.
