Plot

Thomas, Jacques and Chris, all about sixteen years, are best friends. They live in the Dutch bulb-growing region, where villages, fields and meadows lean against the dunes and beach. Their lives are like so many rural youth, but a dramatic accident changed everything. When the three of them are sitting on the tractor, Jacques falls below it, while Thomas steers the wheel. Thomas asks himself in the depths of his thoughts if his jealousy of Jacques, who ran off with Manou the evening before, had something to do with the accident.
