A tender, melancholic exploration of two men reconnecting with a formative first love after years of separation, grappling with identity, desire, and the weight of the past.

Childhood friends Matías and Jerónimo reach adolescence and experience sexual attraction to each other, before being separated by circumstances. Later, as young adults, they meet again, and the film follows themes of complicated relationships and sexual tensions, as well as issues of homophobia.
