9-year-old Andreas develops a series of compulsive behaviors as he struggles to cope with the grief of losing his brother in a tragic accident. He avoids stepping on lines, beats his chest, and becomes obsessed with the idea of turning back time. Yet, even as the family moves to a new house to start fresh, the weight of their sorrow lingers.
