Gabriel and Toni meet aged nine at a campsite where their families spend the summer holidays. From that moment on the two boys are inseparable, especially when they both start attending the same school. However, their friendship becomes strained. Is violence justified if used to impose justice? Gabriel believes it is, despite what his friend Toni says, and is prepared to prove it. "A hooded man appeared from nowhere and threw a Molotov cocktail. For a moment, the world stood still. People held their breath and everything fell silent. It seemed to fly through the air above our heads in slow motion, and when it hit one of the diggers, it was as if someone had pressed the fast forward button. That ball of fire unleashed hell."
