Three bros, one leaf pile, and the emotional baggage of your twenties.
Three friends have a special mission: find some keys lost in a pile of dead leaves. It may seem a simple task, but it will turn into an odyssey when it confronts them to their fear to grow up. This afternoon, as trivial as it may sound, could change the course of their lives.
