Harald is a wrestler and the whole pride of his ambitious mother. But his true love is flowers. His mother fears her son could become a pantywaist and collects all of his flowers. Standing next to the rig during the fights, she threats Harald with lacerating the flower. One night Harald makes a plan: a plant stronger than his mother must be raised. Even if he loves her, he has to get rid of his mother, making his own decisions for the first time in his life.
