Markus was sex­u­al­ly abused sev­er­al times during his child­hood. Today, the 55-year-old is con­stant­ly on the road with his camper van and his dog “Picas­so” and is long­ing for an ocean: “an ocean between me and my past”. He works against sexual abuse, in soci­ety and within him­self. But as he says: “the trem­bling starts in the neck” when approach­ing his story by look­ing at his child­hood home. “I was born on the first floor and then destroyed on the second.”
The film­mak­ers and Markus set out togeth­er, he gained con­fi­dence and grad­u­al­ly was able to tell his story. A sen­si­tive por­trait and a per­son­al con­tri­bu­tion to a topic of which the extent is only slowly being understood.
