Synopsis

An exceptionally gifted teenage boy is about to start studying physics at university. He is working on the theory of parallel worlds, which are linked, he initially believes, by light. He has an extraordinary mind and a wounded soul, which his authoritarian mother, who steers his life, is incapable of healing. The appearance of his father, after years of absence, creates a new order. The boy passes from his mother’s hands into the care of a man. Their torturous road forms a bond between the three central characters, but their shared happiness is not to last long. Approaching a solution to the problem of the passage between the worlds, the boy initiates a journey, setting his life on the scales…
