Zurich at the beginning of the 90's : the worlds media focuses on the blot on Switzerland’s clean image. The "Needle Park", the open drug scene at the Platzspitz. Right under the eyes of passers-by — tourists, business people, women with children — hundreds of young people were shooting up drugs into their bloody, festering veins and openly dealing drugs in front of the police. Stephan was one of them. He shot up everything –the more, the better. Ten years later, the director gets to know Stephan, who now is an accountant, as a cheerful, charming and responsible young man and decides to tell his story. For a whole year, she accompanies the ex-junkie with her camera. Stephan openly talks about drugs as well as the difficulties of his life after drugs and his fear of "normality".
