Synopsis:
George and Anna Schober have a daughter, Eva, and lead ordinary lives – they
wake up at six, brush their teeth, listen to the radio news and have breakfast.
Nothing interesting happens in their lives. But one day, Eva starts to pretend
that she is blind in front of her teacher. Her mother punishes her severely and
violently. After that, life in the Schober family is never the same...
