Dalibor wants only the best for his two little brothers who still live at home: one with his exhausted mother, the other with his still violent father. After spending time in prison, Dalibor stands by his family in a custody battle and gradually learns to handle his own pain: he becomes a fakir. A composed observational portrait of a restless young man. Anna Magdalena Hofer
