Thirteen-year-old Felix has a unique condition – he cannot feel the cold. He navigates a difficult life with his mother, desperately trying to conceal her struggles from the outside world. This is especially important concerning his best friend Anton, whose family represents a more conventional and stable upbringing. As Felix witnesses the growing disparity between their lives, he grapples with feelings of shame and envy, questioning his ability to maintain a genuine friendship built on secrets and a lack of understanding.
