There are only a few thoughtless moments that fundamentally change Jürgen's life. The sixteen-year-old is caught off guard by a friend's spontaneous idea to rob a snack bar owner. Shortly thereafter, the friend finds himself in a headlock from the vendor and gestures towards a beer bottle lying around. Jürgen then takes the bottle and strikes the man on the head - robbery with serious bodily harm, resulting in a year in prison. However, not everything is hopeless in Jürgen's life. When he sits next to Mo, simply sitting in the darkness of the night, Jürgen is filled with a wonderful sense of happiness. And even after all the long days and nights in prison, after unbearable loneliness and tough confrontations with other inmates, this feeling still has a chance. Uwe Britten's youth novel primarily gains tension and intensity.
