It’s a family drama about two brothers, the Finnish story of Cain and Abel. Eighteen-year-old Rupert still suffers from nightmares about his father. For him, his father is a curse. Younger brother Everett, on the other hand, does not deny his father and takes care of him. Conflict is maturing between the brothers. In the face of two different personalities, conflict is inevitable. A tragedy seems inevitable.
