Joachim er rejst ud for at tage sig af sin far, der bor alene og fører en selvdestruktiv tilværelse. De har ikke set hinanden i mange år. Det handler om svigt, skam og skyld, men også om at kunne give slip på alt det, som forhindrer os i at komme videre.

Joachim has come to take care of his self-destructive and suicidal father Ulrich, who lives on the countryside. They have not spoken nor seen each other for several years. It's a story about family and betrayal. They will both have to let go of their failure, shame and guilt to move on, even though the outcome might be hard.
