"Are you going to ruin your life with fear and accusations because you've ran into three assholes? Or are you just going to move on?"

Malte and Liv are enjoying their Mallorca vacation until the unthinkable happens: they are assaulted by three young men and Liv is raped while Malte is forced to watch. Back in Germany Liv is doing her best to get back to normal life, but Malte is stuck, blaming himself for what happened. Until, one day, he sees the rapist again. German filmmaker Sven Taddicken directs a dramatic thriller, leading a couple to walk a tightrope between justice and revenge.
