Leo og Remi er bedste venner og bruger de fleste af døgnets timer sammen. Et nyt skoleår står for døren, og de to 13-årige drenge skal starte i en ny klasse. Særligt Leo bemærker, at klassekammeraterne antyder, at Leo og Remi nok er mere end venner - man kan se det på deres blik for hinanden, siger de. Kommentarerne påvirker Leo, og han vender langsomt blikket væk fra Remi. En beslutning, der får fatale følger.

The plot deals with the developments in an old decadent village after a stranger arrives at the old train station, an event in itself. This stranger is a Brazilian musician who carries and plays his "oboe". The music from the oboe, the musician's instrument, will change the lives of everyone involved, and that small village itself will forever be changed by the sound of the oboe.
