Late summer in Berlin. The city is pulsating and Fabian, Bene, and Richard are wandering aimlessly through the urban jungle. Against Fabian's quiet protest, the friends ridicule outsider Jakob. The aggression escalates when one night the boys make their way into Jakob's room, and bully Borschwitz sets Jakob's mother's car on fire. Fabian can no longer repress his affection for Jakob and confronts his friends, taking Jakobs side - perhaps too late.
