Sixteen-year-old Sebastian lives a sheltered life in a small town, his days defined by routine and untested assumptions. Everything shifts when his family welcomes Kolja, the fifteen-year-old son of a deceased friend of Sebastian’s father. Awkward and distant at first, the boys slowly begin to open up, drawn into a closeness neither expects. Their growing bond becomes charged with curiosity, tenderness, and uncertainty, forming a private world of shared glances and unspoken feelings. As boundaries blur and emotions deepen, Sebastian is forced to question his identity, his desires, and the quiet truths he has never allowed himself to imagine before.
