In this documentary the confrontation between the inhabitants of the village Heinsberg-Randerath and the dismissed sex offender Karl D., who moves in with his brother Helmut, is illuminated. Many residents, including rape victims, vehemently oppose Karl D. moving into their neighbourhood. His family is increasingly under tension, and the youth welfare office is considering taking his son away. A few women among the demonstrators question the action and begin to make contact with the family.
The filmmakers Mareille Klein and Julie Kreuzer try to make both the Karl D.’s family and the demonstrators heard.
