Synopsis
Teenager Benny sees the world through the lens. In his room he follows the events around the world live. An undisturbed stream of violence distorts boy’s perception and becomes a real-life experience. Benny enters the forbidden territory. However, understanding the consequences of one’s actions is not so easy. Especially when one has the family on their side trying to cover it up with morality.
