A young Pim and his mother, Yvette, live in the Belgian countryside with their dog, a Miniature Pinscher named Mirza.
The mother, a lonely divorcee, plays a piano accordion, and patronizes a local bar called Texas.
Meanwhile, Yvette begins spending time with a man named Etienne, who is brutish and macho, and whom Pim immediately despises.
Pim, seeing Gino kiss Françoise, commits an act of vandalism as revenge and a rift forms between the two friends.
Having long wanted Zoltan for himself, even before he fell in love with Gino, a distraught Pim runs off into the night.
