Seventeen-year-old Thomas cannot come to terms with the accidental death of his beloved father, and slightly older Jakob cannot come to terms with the scar that has disfigured his cheek since a dog bite. They meet in an empty villa and learn to open up to another person. In his new novel, Paul Senftenberg creates unabashedly honest images of great tenderness and tenderness for the affection that the two boys feel for each other, their budding love. By finding the courage to trust each other, the boys not only experience moments of unusual closeness, they also make a new beginning in which fear and prejudice no longer have any place.
