One of the last days before the school holidays something happens between six year old Armand and Jon. The parents are called in for a meeting, but the school management doesn't really know what actually happened. Was it just a children’s game or something much more serious? The incident between the two boys triggers a series of events, forcing parents and school staff into a captivating battle - where madness, desire and obsession arise.
