Early seventies in a small village in Burgenland, Austria. We are watching a boy of ten being confrontend with two of the most prevalent taboos: death and sexuality. The generally accepted forms of recourse offered by religion and society have cracks, don't work any more, and thus are being ignored, by-passed or interpreted from a child's angle. This film presents subtle views and insight into the life of a boy of ten and looks upon life through his eyes.
