Twenty-year-old Vincent doesn’t have much, but even what he does have seems too hard to handle: endless wanderings, family depression, and a dead-end job in a body piercing studio. He can’t even afford his own flat, and his hardcore punk band serves as an outlet for his frustrations. One day he is welcomed at home by another frustrating situation: his father’s much younger girlfriend is about to move in with them. And all of this just a couple of months after his mother’s death. But the real trouble for Vincent begins when he starts developing completely inappropriate yet overwhelming feelings for his father’s lover.
