But when their mother dies in a car accident, the brothers are left to their own devices. Kléber is going to take his big brother under his wing, but for the two young brothers life is not a chimera.

Ben and Barnabas are unseparatable since they are small. The two of them, however, are no ordinary pair of brothers, for Barnabas, with his twenty-two years, remained mentally at the age of three.
