The girl's parents distrust television, but at their neighbour Ege's she can watch as long as she likes. His flat is full of equipment, and he shoots videos no one ever wants to see; the girl is allowed to act in them, with his partner Gisela behind the camera. Mostly, though, Ege sits in his darkened flat despising the world and drinking. The parents are overwhelmed by their child, who wets the bed and hardly speaks: the father, a biologist, prefers endangered species, the mother is absorbed in her sculpture, and a healer is supposed to help. The girl takes refuge with an angel she has found on one of Ege's videotapes.
