The Morells and the Wagners, each a father-mother-son family, live near each other in a suburb of Hamburg. Both are perfectly normal families. The fathers have been friends for years and work together for the same company as salesmen for Swedish pre-fabricated houses. The adults meet up on a regular basis to play cards, completing a picture of harmony and order. What the parents don't know is that there is terrible animosity between their adolescent sons. Robert, the younger and smaller of the two, is repeatedly harassed by Paul. One day he finds himself cornered by his sadistic tormentor. In blind rage, Paul reacts by shooting Robert. Horrified to learn of their son's ordeal and what he's done to escape it, Paul's parents bury the corpse of their neighbours' son. Then they scheme to cover up the crime. The desperate and devastating tragedy snowballs...
