About

A sixteen-year-old in a small town sees his summer change when his family takes in a boy who is a stranger to him.

Sixteen-year-old Sebastian Eiffler, played by Linus Moog, grows up in a small town surrounded by woods, fields and a hot summer. He studies by day and spends his nights at the lake with friends, beer and weed; he has a girlfriend, Sarah, played by Marie Becker. His family's life changes when they take in fifteen-year-old Kolja, played by Aurel Klug, supposedly the son of his father's girlfriend. The two boys are strangers at first, but they gradually open up to each other.
