It all begins in a seemingly quiet beautiful province, at the beginning we see a group of friends having fun at a lake while one is immersed for a few seconds and then returns to the surface discovering that something was wrong
Then we are Introduced to Pol, who lives with his older brother Llorenc, who tries to take care of him all the time because he knows that something is wrong with his young brother, also we get to know Deerhoof, a teddy bear with conscience and "Pol's best friend".
Strange events begin to happen with the arrival of a new student named Ikari , no one knows where he comes from but it's clear that Pol starts feeling a carnal attraction to him, despite having an open relationship with his best friend Laia.
As the plot unfolds we discover that Pol lives in a fantasy world where Deerhoof represents his beloved childhood and the character of Ikari represents the transition to adulthood.
Although Clara disappears (dies drowned in the lake) . Her spirit appeared to Pol while he walks into the woods without knowing the tragic fate of the girl.
Despite its similarities to Donnie Darko or Elephant, I call this movie as a teenager and mysterious version of Peter Pan, Ikari is the one that shows Pol how chaotic and painful the grown up world can be, around confusion Pol assumes that he wants his childhood more than anything in the world.
Finally Pol jumps off the bridge into the lake trying to rescue Deerhoof, apparently he succeeds and gets DeerHoof back but learning that he pass away in the attempt, then Clara appears to Pol's spirit telling him that everything is OK.
In the final scene we learn that both Pol and Clara are in a safe place now, between heaven and earth, where pain doesn't exist anymore, its their own version of Neverland.
