The boys soon realize that their dreams will not come true. As they live in a small apartment together with their mother under poor conditions, they start stealing, dealing with drugs and even going on the game at the central station. The only cheering prospects in their disappointing situation are social worker Xaver and the new teacher Hanna, but even they cannot prevent a tragedy...
