Tore, a self-appointed “Jesus warrior” deliberately lives a non-violent and chaste life. He intends to start a new life with similar minded people in Hamburg. But the group breaks apart. By coincidence he encounters Benno, whom he had previously helped when his car broke down. The family man invites Tore to his allotment garden. He lets him camp there, and Tore initially feels part of the patchwork family. But the idyllic facade begins to crumble and Benno's sadistic inclinations begin to surface. Tore stoically endures the humiliations and violations as his faith bids him to turn the other cheek.
