synopsis: Conflicts between boys are everyday routine in high school. There are those who cultivate sincere friendship, and who bases their relationship on arrogance and will never confess their silent pains. When these two ways to live adolescence collide, all feel a sense of instability and fear, but only some boys will have the strength to follow their instinct to the end.
