Like a violent thunderstorm on an erstwhile peaceful summer day, this searing psychosexual drama follows a seemingly happy family torn apart by the exposure of secrets and hidden desires. Marcus lives with his wife, Christine, and precocious 11-year-old daughter, Elisabeth, in upper-middle-class comfort. But when Marcus meets the 12-year-old son of a colleague, he is uncontrollably attracted to him, and he charts a course to self-destruction when he abandons his family to become closer with the boy.
