In an orphanage in Indonesia, Johan watches over his younger brother Adam, as they have no one else. However, when they are adopted by different families, they lose contact. Johan is taken to Kuala Lumpur by a wealthy Malaysian couple, while Adam remains in Indonesia and is adopted by the Dutch painter Karl. Johan grows up in luxury, while Adam lives in a simple coastal town. But then, in the summer of 1964, civil war threatens Indonesia. Foreigners, especially the Dutch, are increasingly met with hostility. When Karl is arrested, sixteen-year-old Adam decides to do everything he can to find him. What he does not know is that his search will also bring him closer to his brother.
