In the isolated mountains of central Corsica, Petru raises his two twins alone: Jean and Matthias. Every Sunday in winter, they go boar hunting. As they approach adulthood, their bond has given way to a relationship of confrontation and competition. Jean, who lives in the shadow of his brother, is jealous of the privileged relationship that Matthias seems to have with their father. Which feeds his one desire: to finally be recognized for equally, even if it means he will have to sacrifice part of himself to get it.
