BLACKBIRD (working title)

16-year-old Sebastian’s sheltered small town life changes abruptly when his family takes in 15-year-old Kolja, who is supposedly the son of a late friend of his father‘s. As time passes, the two boys begin to open up more and more to each other and find out that they are biological brothers. Sebastian‘s life is suddenly turned upside down as he has not only found a soul mate in his new brother, but also a true first love. Overcome by their feelings, the two hide their affair, but the family breaks out of the small town’s social fabric and comes into conflict with social norms when the secret, incestuous relationship is exposed. What follows is a rollercoaster of emotions.
