On his travels, 40-something Mathias comes across a small boy who somehow reminds him of how he was at the same age.  Perturbed by this chance encounter, Mathias becomes so obsessed with the boy that he risks disrupting his own family life.   If it is possible to relive one's childhood, maybe it is also possible to alter the course of events...
