Raffael, the self-assured one with the disarming smile, and Moritz, the boomerang in Raffael's hand: since their first encounter as children, they have been inseparable, with Raffael leading the way and Moritz following. Moritz and his mother Marie are newcomers in the lonely mountain village, and Marie should actually be happy about the friendship between the two. However, she recognizes the destructive force lurking behind Raffael's steel-blue eyes. One day, when Moritz excitedly talks about the new girl at school, it happens: Johanna expands the bond between Moritz and Raffael into a fatal triangle, whose sharp edges leave no one unscathed. Sixteen years later, the past suddenly grips the three of them again, and everything that has long gone unsaid breaks free - with unpredictable force. Mareike Fallwickl tells a story of shadows and light, despair and longing, betrayal and forgiveness.
