Thomas Godet plays Toto, a boy born to a working-class family, while Hugo Harold Harrison plays Alfred, a boy born to a wealthy family, both in the same hospital on the same day. Toto is convinced that a fire at the hospital led to the two babies being switched at birth. He believes that the lavish life that should have been his was taken by Alfred, and whenever he brings up the matter, he inevitably gets a beating from Alfred. After his father's unexpected death, Toto's resentment towards Alfred's family deepens. However, his hatred does not bring him satisfaction or compensation; instead, it casts a shadow over his entire life...
