According to research by the Charité in Berlin, the first signs of a paedophiliac tendency can be found as early as puberty. Every paedophile was once young, fell in love for the first time like all of us, wondered if the other person felt the same way, and played out sexual fantasies in his head. This fiction film is based on several years of research, we met Mojo in an anonymous chat. A 15-year-old boy who told us about his fantasies, fears and confusion. A young person who doesn’t know what he really wants, what is right and what is wrong. He has desires he doesn’t want to share with anyone. Except with an older man he met on the darknet and calls ‘mentor’. And how this man, it seems, gains more and more influence over the boy. Mojo falls deeper and deeper into a relationship of dependency with the older man, eventually becoming sexually involved with the adult. In return, his mentor gives him a hard drive with child pornography and tells him not to go to a counselling centre because, in his opinion, he will be manipulated into killing himself. The 15-year-old teenager is trapped in this tension because his mentor is the only person he can confide in.
