In a system that has been tried and tested over the years, 16-year-old Jann shields his mother Lina from the outside world. When Jann falls in love with Selma, who is a year older than him, he is less and less able to keep his family secret. Selma and Jann’s love causes his previous world to collapse, but in the end it also gives him the strength he needs to claim a new place in life. And just as Jann is learning to give up responsibility for his mentally ill mother, he gives Lina the chance for professional help.
