Contents/Summary

Summary

When juvenile delinquents are locked up in prison for years, they lose touch with the outside world and run the risk of getting used to being isolated from the outside world. An experimental program offered young men a possibility to do social work and thus empowered some to face challenging jobs. The filmmaker presents a portrait of a recidivist prisoner who starts working in a social care home for seriously handicapped children. Robert spent eight years in a penal institution. We observe the 24-year-old protagonist for several months turning from a bored prisoner to an experienced social worker. Yet for others the program created a chance to escape. The two runaways make the prison authorities question the meaning of the program.
