30-year-old Wouter, who suffers from autism, loves drawing erotic comics. He lives on a quiet farm with his brother, who spends his time painting gloomy landscapes. Wouter is fascinated with Daria Morgendorffer, a character of MTV animated series (Beavis and Butt-Head, Daria). Throughout the years, the animated character made a great impact on his erotic comics. When Wouter starts publishing his works in the Internet, people begin to develop prejudice towards him. He, however, becomes more aware of what he is presenting, and would like to be recognised for it. Will he achieve his goal?
