The film is from Quebec and thus is in French. Two boys that look like they're about 12, Benjamin and Tyler, are out playing in a rural area. While they are obviously best friends, their play is the kind of dumb aggressive things that 12-year-old boys do together: they chuck rocks at each other, try to scare each other, fake each other out by pretending to be injured. After goofing around in an abandoned train car, they climb under an old fence and sneak into an abandoned open-pit mine. Then thing suddenly get very serious.
