A climate of civil war, a fight that has made them lose everything including their youth, four soldiers aged 13 to 20 years, will meet and build friendships. In the grip of an adult conflict, which they do not understand, Matéo, Dominique, Big Max and Kevin will keep recreating, round a pond and a cabin, a family. Gradually each finds his place. A family that will grow with the arrival of little Gabriel they will form.—Olivier Lafond-Martel

During a civil war, four soldiers aged 15 to 21 meet and bond. Trapped in an adults war that they neither understand nor want any part of, Mateo, Dominique, Big Max and Kevin save themselves by creating a kind of family, making their home in a cabin by a pond. Slowly, each of them finds his place. The family grows with the arrival of young Gabriel, who must be trained to their ways. The narrator, Dominique, immerses us in beautiful, poignant, fleeting story.—Anonymous
