A sullen Viennese boy longing for the affection of his neglectful mother determines to find out just why his neighbors scornfully refer to him as a "whore's son" in director Michael Sturminger's Oedipal-oriented drama. When Ozren was just a child, his mother Silvija (Chulpan Khamatova) always told him that she supported the family by working nights as a waitress. As the years went by and the comments made by his neighbors led Ozren to question his mother's true profession, his needs for parental companionship continued to go unfulfilled despite the close relationships shared with his religious Aunt Ljiljana and his worldly Uncle Ante. Now, with only one piece of the puzzle missing in his eye-opening education, Ozren prepares to remove the blinders and find out just where his mother has been going when glides out the door each evening dressed in lavish furs and revealing miniskirts.
