Benny is a delicate girl with unbridled energy. She's a "system breaker". This term is used to describe children who break every single rule; children who refuse to accept any kind of structure and who gradually fall through the cracks in Germany's child and welfare services. Wherever the nine-year-old is taken, she is fired again after a short time. And this is exactly what she is after, because all she wants is to be able to live with her mother again, a woman who is totally unable to cope with her daughter's incalculable behaviour.
