Ben and Barnabas are unseparatable since childhood. The two of them, however, are no ordinary pair of brothers, for Barnabas, with his twenty-two years, remained mentally at the age of three. This also gave him the nickname "Simpel". But even if Simpel is a terrible nuisance, Ben can never imagine a life without his brother. But then the fate unexpectedly strikes cruelly when her mother suddenly dies. Afterwards, Simpel is to be sent to a home, but the brothers do not allow that. Together, they flee and spend one night outdoors. Then Ben realizes that there is a way to help Simpel. They just have to meet the one person they have not seen for 15 years - their father...
