Two brothers, Andres and Michel, seem to be living a storybook life in a small town until they both fall in love with the girl next door. Then, one perfect summer's day, an innocent picnic takes a surprising and unexpected turn for the three of them. The two young boys are caught in an unthinkable situation, brothers different as night and day vying for their mother s heart. Is there anything a boy wouldn't do for his mother's love? Does he need to earn it, or should it be unconditional? And if the love he wants isn't there, does the heart of a child break, or just bend? Then comes the hate, to fill in the cracks that love has left behind and the final outcome of that fateful summer s day is played out years later in their mother s kitchen in a riveting conclusion to this intense drama.
