This is a story about friendship and betrayal, about dreams and forced compromises. Values ​​that seemed unshakable in youth collide with reality, and mistakes become irreparable over time. Delayed apologies cannot bring back the lost.

They are young, full of enthusiasm and faith in their future. But imperceptibly they find themselves drawn into the world of secret conversations, forbidden topics and other people's games. The desire for freedom, sincere and pure, gradually turns into a dangerous path, where the stakes have long ceased to be youthful.
