Thomas Lehr grew up at the end of the 1950s as the youngest of four children in the school of a small West German village. His parents and the church also taught him strict Catholic upbringing with physical punishment. At first he lived in the world of the Ten Commandments, believed in sincere love, honesty and obedience. For his father, who is headmaster of the school, Thomas has to buy beer and schnapps at the age of ten, which makes him feel guilty. He also learns about his father's long-standing relationship with his class teacher. The father falls ill, can no longer work and wants to die. The family moves.
