Oscar had lost his place at both school and home.
Simply because he happened to fall for boys.
After confessing his feelings to his best friend, Oscar becomes the target of relentless bullying.
Despite his friend's seemingly affectionate behavior, he turns against Oscar, spreading the secret to their classmates.
Pushed to the edge, Oscar begins to engage in self-harm.
Determined to grow stronger, he joins a judo class, where he meets Sergio, a young man with a free-spirited outlook on life.
With no sanctuary at school or in a home ruled by his traditionally-minded, authoritarian father, Oscar finds solace in Sergio, who accepts him without question.
Their bond deepens, but love is never simple.
Sergio is open with his affections, but Oscar, scarred by past heartbreak, struggles to move forward.
Then, the worst happens—his father discovers the truth about his sexuality...
