Dedicated Berlin social worker Wolski gets social services to finance his experimental project down under. Wayward serial foster kid Marcel, a seemingly incorrigible violent junkie thug aged 16, accompanies guardian Wolski to Vava'u, a South Sea island in Tonga kingdom, where Wolski's mate Jo was to build a house for them, but spent the cash on a 'steal' garage. So they live with the native pastor Tevita, but Marcel gets drunk and wounds Tevita's best friend Lole, who takes the case to court. Wolski obtains an alternative punishment: Marcel is banished three years to uninhabited island Kenutu, mostly with Wolski, who finds building a home from scratch together finally established a proper bond. Tevita helps working out a traditional porcine peace offer, which Lole feels forced to accept, but Marcel's sincere apology after the make up feast ends in utter tragedy.
