Germany, juvenile prison. Kevin (Constantin von Jascheroff) is new here, a “picco”. And like all newcomers, he is first of all beaten up. Especially by his cellmates: Marc (Frederick Lau), the thug, Tommy (Joel Basman), the dealer, and Andy (Martin Kiefer), the schemer. Picco can’t confide in anyone: The psychologists are helpless, the guards overwhelmed, the fellow inmates unscrupulous. But in a world where the law of the strongest counts, Picco believes in the good. For exactly 104 days. Until the night that will change the lives of the four cellmates forever.
