Detour

A young woman meets on her escape with a child the delivery man Bruno (Lars Rudolph), who takes the two on his way to Berlin. She secretly took the boy on a trip, in order to force her boyfriend and father of the child, to admit to their relationship. Bruno senses her outcastness in life and presumes to the idea, that she could be somebody, who understands him. At a rest stop, he tries clumsily to get closer to Alma but she rebuffs him. In doing so, she unwittingly injures him in such a way that he drops all his inhibitions. Whereas Bruno until now was acting covertly in the hope of establishing contact, he now wants to take for himself what has been denied him.
