Δύο 13χρονα αγόρια, ο Ρεμι και Λεο, περνούν το καλοκαίρι τους παίζοντας και βοηθώντας τους γονείς του Λεο στις αγροτικές εργασίες. Κάνουν σχεδόν τα πάντα μαζί, αλλά στην αρχή της σχολικής χρονιάς η φιλία τους διακόπτεται εξαιτίας ενός βίαιου γεγονότος. Για να καταλάβει τι έχει συμβεί, ο Λεό στρέφεται στη μητέρα του φίλου του, γυρεύοντας απαντήσεις σε ερωτήματα μεγαλύτερα από την ηλικία του.

6What people say
As a queer person, there is an age when sacrifice comes so easily because you've not yet figured out who you are, and so don't know who you need the most.
this movie can only be described as the most raw depiction of grief. how life still goes on but the pain is still there. it was shot beautifully. a real tear jerker but in the right way, a way that makes you feel human at the end.
