13 year old Pablo is a quiet, lonely boy with a troubled past. His only friend is Julia, a shameless 15 year old girl who is more than willing to help Pablo with his transition from childhood to adolescence, and give him tutorial lessons on sex, love and life. This summer, Pablo is thrust into an adult world by events out of his control. On a quiet country road just outside of the village, Pablo meets Paco, an oddly calm, well dressed stranger whose car just broke down. He helps him out and as Paco hangs out in the village the boy forms a bond of trust with the new comer filling a hap in the boy's life left by his absent father. As they spend more time together Pablo is unknowingly and blindly being lead towards a tragedy that will scar him for life. (official distributor synopsis)
