In a 1960s suburb, two brothers, Bobby and Joey, experience a childhood marked by innocence and adventure. Life seems fun and carefree, filled with games and explorations in their neighborhood. However, behind the cheerful facade lies a darker reality: their home is plagued by problems, particularly due to the abusive figure of their stepmother and the physical abuse they endure.
Bobby, the older brother, becomes the protector of his younger sibling, constantly seeking ways to pull him away from the harsh reality they face. Together, they embark on a journey of pure imagination, using a wheelbarrow as their means of escape. With each adventure, the brothers envision a world where they can fly and be free, far from the pain they endure at home.
As the story progresses, the abuse intensifies, and Bobby realizes that their escapism is not enough to save Joey from the cruelty surrounding them. With a mix of sadness and determination, he decides that it's time to take more drastic measures. What begins as a journey filled with fantasy transforms into a desperate fight for survival and hope. Through their unbreakable bond, the brothers show us that even in the most difficult circumstances, love and imagination can provide a light in the darkness.
