Movie description:

Ibrahim, a 15 year‐old Moroccan boy, walks down a road in the outskirts of a big city, alone and disoriented. He has just been informed that he will deported in two days, so he has packed up and run away. He is alone with no place to go. Rafa, a 16 years‐old Spanish boy, runs into a club toilet like a bundle of nerves. Outside, there is a girl, Marta, waiting for him. A girl that ex-pects from him far more than he can give. These two boys’ paths are about to cross.

At the age of 15 the world around you changes at a dizzying speed. But what if actually it’s you that changing? What if these changes take you away from what up until now, has been your world? Ibrahim and Rafa are going to suffer these changes for themselves, experiencing first love in a way they never could have imagined. And having to keep it hidden away.
