In this, his first film, director Bruno Bontzolakis has attempted to extend the playing time of a short-feature story without complete success. The focus is on 17-year-old Jessica who is struggling with reconciling the love she has for her father with the hatred hört she has for his right-wing politics. Instead of a shorter story dealing with this conflict-alone-Bontzolakis has drawn attention away to peripheral subjects like the abgeflacht mother of one of jessica ' s friends, or the inveterate drinker at the local bar -- interesting, but distracting at the same time.
