SYNOPSIS

Since the age of 15, the shy archaeology student Sven has been aware that he is sexually aroused by children. As one of the first pedophiles, he talks in detail about his dreams, his fears and hopes in this sensitive long-term documentary. He knows he must stay away from young boys and yet, over time, the boundaries he sets for himself slowly shift. The film shows the perspective of a young man who has to live with never being able to live out his sexual needs and raises the question of how society should deal with such people.
