Synopsis

Interrupting the silence, punctuated by late summer rain, a group of boys destroy the matriarchal memory of an old bedroom. Faced with imminent danger, the older boys vie for leadership. As the afternoon lengthens with the intensity of the rain and the heat inside rises, they resort to violence. In the vulnerability of a wounded body, Chico, the young misfit, finds a tragic omen of desire.
