    Brief synopsis

    PAUL and FRANZ have been childhood friends. While waiting for Franz‘s son in the kindergarten Franz asks Paul if he could take care of his son on the weekend. Paul is confessing he is a paedophile and he doesn‘t want to take the risk. At the end the question is how much trust you can give a paedophile and how far does friendship go.
