Synopsis
When their mother succumbs to a mysterious illness, four orphaned children bury her in a cement-filled trunk in the cellar. The oldest child, Julie, assumes the maternal role while Jack, fifteen, withdraws into sexual self-absorption. The arrival of Julie's boyfriend Derek spurs Jack into assuming a mantle of maturity by which he finally wins his sister's admiration and love.
