His coworker Nadja makes advances towards him and eventually becomes his girlfriend.One of the kindergarten pupils is Klara, the daughter of Lucas best friend Theo. Drawing on memory of a pornographic picture her older brother showed her, she makes comments that lead the kindergarten director to believe Lucas indecently exposed himself to her. When interviewed with leading questions, Klara gives unclear testimony against Lucas. The adults in the community believe the directors story of abuse, dismissing Klaras later contradictions as denial. ........
