Gerardo and Jonas find each other because they have been looking for each other. In one first exchange of looks, they become old accomplices, after that comes one date after another: in a hotel, at the university, intimacy, kisses, skin, fusion, bed, shower, and bars. The feeling of staying together against distance, against time, brings them closer as in a perennial ritual bound to be repeated, in order to sustain the continuity of vital occurrences.
