This has nothing to do with the month of August, but August is a boy of twenty who lives alone with his mother and falls to his death from some balcony for no evident reason at all - it looks like suicide, but he had no dark thoughts or sides but was gay, which his mother learns after his death and never suspected. Many loved him, both men and girls, so he had absolutely no reason to kill himself, so someone could have pushed him, and the murder theory starts growing in the mother's mind. But he had some risky contacts as well, connected with the drug business, so it's the usual mess of possibilities with no loose thread to start pulling at. Of course the police are never consulted on the case as they should have been from the beginning, so the whole film is just vague hints. We never learn how he fell or from where, he just partied and was gay, and that was all. All loose threads without any end to any of them, and that's how we are finally left, rather disappointed and worn out by a mother's constant grief and her dreams about her lost son, whom she never knew.
