Since an accident in his childhood, 15-year-old Peter is mentally disabled. He cannot read and write, cannot go on excursions without his mother and he barely has contact with people of his own age. When Peter meets 14-year-old Laura in an idyllic open air pool on a summer afternoon, he tries to join her clique. Even though his attempts are not successful, he undergoes a development which is as realistic as it is impressive.
