"Idiot." "Birdbrain." "Cretin." A mother's terms of endearment for her young
son. A little unorthodox maybe, but these are Germans we're talking about, so you have to make allowances.
Twenty-something Silvija (Chulpan Khamatova, from Goodbye
Lenin!) and her young son Ozren (Stanislav Lisnic) are actually
as close as a mother and son could be. He is a natural-born mama's boy, who wets the bed and then immediately
confesses, in order to get her attention. She is a single mother who keeps Ozren on a meticulous schedule, dragging him
out of bed every morning and marching him off to school with a determined, no-nonsense attitude. At night, she puts on
garters and hose, makeup, and a giant mink coat before heading off to her "waitressing" job, as she calls it.
This routine goes on for years with only the occasional, easily-deflected question from Ozren. By the time he reaches
his teens, however, he has become acutely aware that the whispered taunts from his schoolmates are grounded in fact. He
is a hurensohn -- a whore's son.
