Synopsis

Zodiac Sign

Alexander Becker, caring father of two children, loving husband and ambitious lawyer, is offered the deal of a lifetime. If he wins a high-caliber lawsuit for his firm, he will be on his way to a top career in Canada.

But then, he receives a phone call from the clinic where he put his mentally handicapped brother Fabian after the early death of their mother. Apparently important renovations at the clinic make it necearry to find temporary accomodations for Fabian for four weeks. Unwillingly, Fabian becomes a catalyst for all the unsettled conflicts in his new environment. With Fabian, the suprressed memories of Alexander′s childhood, the reminder of the mutual roots and their painful separation come to fore. Things start to happen very fast, and slowly but surely Alexander begins to understand where he really belongs.
