Teenager Thomas must decide whether to follow his older brother's example or that of his little brother.

synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Thomas is trying to find his way within the community of Jehovah's Witnesses in which he was raised, but finds himself caught between his ex-communicated older brother and his younger brother who is about to be baptised. Will he follow the path of the elder or set the right example for the younger? Whatever his choice, the decision will have a huge impact on family relationships.
Thomas, un adolescent de 16 ans, essaie de trouver son chemin au sein de la communauté de témoins de Jéhovah dans laquelle il a été élevé. Il est partagé entre son grand frère désengagé et de son petit frère sur le point de se faire baptiser. Suivra-t-il le chemin de son grand frère ou montrera-t-il le droit chemin à son petit frère ? Quel que soit son choix, cette décision aura de grandes conséquences sur les relations familiales.
