Eddy, the altar boy, writes as a 55 year old. Flashback to 1963 when he meets Raoul, also 15 at the time, in his grandfather's orchard, they start calling the Garden of Eden. Soon they run away but their adolescent full-on love affair turns bad and they do not meet up until 20 years later, when Eddy is living in Florence. They pick up the pieces of the love, they once shared, but their new relationship unfolds like a drama that inexorably moves towards a glorious end. The grandeur of their rekindled love and the doomed end show us that the writing on the wall was always there but nobody had the sponge to wipe it all away.
