居住在多元文化的同一社區中四個陌生人發生了巨大變化這天，該社區的郵箱被菲律賓少年依格惡作劇炸毀，至關重要的文件被銷毀，繁榮的都市生活是無情的，莉娜和馬努被毒販追殺，非法移民的莉妲獨自一人帶著新生嬰兒，丈夫因車禍喪生甚至無法辨認屍體，依格努力想被當地社區接受但卻是徒勞，塔利亞注視著附近社區中非常努力生活的每個人都失去了尋找到幸福的機會。

In 1974, a group of 11-year-old boys spend the last carefree summer of their childhood, unaware that the world of grown-ups, with its loves, passions, prejudices and curses, is about to seal their fate. Aaron, Stelios, Sakis, Galanos and Verios, "the acrobats", are best friends. School has closed for the summer holidays and the children spend their time playing games, running errands, and riding their bikes. Life is a game, into which they channel all their physical energy and imagination. They practice their diving abilities in a big cistern. It is a game through which their special talents and competitive spirit unfold. One is good at balancing acts, another at diving and another at somersaults. It is in this neighborhood that Aaron will spend the most important summer of his life: a rite of passage from childhood to adolescence, a time for learning about love, jealousy and friendship.
