B.O.Y - bruises of yesterday
SYNOPSIS
16-year-old Tobias is forced by his absent mother to spend the summer with his grandparents on a small island. His grandfather takes care of his dementia-sick wife while working fulltime as a glazier. Tobias meets and falls in love with Aron, a local 25-year-old painter, who is also attracted to him. Tobias is not used to receiving love and attention from home, so the unfamiliar affection Aron offers is difficult for him to handle. Every time Aron gets close, Tobias pushes him away.
When a tragedy strikes, Tobias returns to old habits of self-loathing and self-harm, as it gives him an inner peace, he can’t find anywhere else. Dark thoughts threaten to destroy his mental health and his relationship with everyone around him. Tobias moves further and further into the physical pain, as he thinks, he deserves it. Feeling completely abandoned he embarks on an emotional and dangerous journey.
