In the summer of 1936, the violence of the Spanish Civil war reaches a small village in Mallorca. Four children: Andreu Ramallo, Manuel Tur, Pau Inglada and a girl Francisca are witness to the execution of leftists at the hands of pro-Franco villagers. In a desperate act of revenge, Pau, whose father has been killed the previous day by the lead executioner, plans to avenge his father's murder torturing Julià Ballester, the son of his father's killer. His idea is to force the boy to drink castor oil. However, things go wrong when the boy—Julià Ballester—taunts them and Pau becomes enraged. He brutally kills Julià by bashing his head against a rock and then stabbing him in the throat. Unable to deal with what he has just done, Pau commits suicide jumping inside a hole on a cave. The remaining children: Andreu, Manuel, and Francisa are witnesses to these tragic events.

Romain est un jeune adolescent atteint depuis sa naissance de Xeroderma pigmentosum, une maladie génétique extrêmement rare qui le contraint notamment à rester à l'abri de la lumière du jour en raison des rayons ultraviolets qui provoquent des dommages à l'ADN que ses cellules ne peuvent naturellement réparer, entrainant irrémédiablement des cancers cutanés multiples. Il est suivi par le dermatologue David Assoland avec lequel il a noué au cours des années une relation d'autant plus filiale qu'il vit seul avec sa mère. David cependant, après une longue carrière au CHU de Bayonne obtient enfin un poste convoité depuis de nombreuses années à l'Organisation mondiale de la santé à Genève. Très attaché à cet enfant, bien que relativement distant de sa propre famille, il ne sait ni ne réussit à lui dire qu'il va devoir partir. Son successeur à la tête du service est une femme, Carlotta Granié, avec laquelle il entretient des rapports conflictuels, ne réussissant pas à passer la main.
