[edit] Plot

Antonio is a curious fifteen-year-old boy who is beginning to realize his sexuality, being attracted to men. His straight best friend, Mike, has been supportive of his admission. His first sexual exploration, however, destroyed his friendship with another friend, Nathan.

His father has been working in Dubai for at least 8 years, but refuses to come home, for having a new family there. His father keeps this as a secret to the wife, Tere.

Antonio then meets Uncle Jonbert and becomes his sexual obsession. But Antonio was caught unprepared for things that would be, and in a sudden cascade of events, Tere killed Jobert.
