A haunting, slow-burn meditation on mortality and isolation, where a decomposing man's withdrawal from the world becomes a surreal exploration of death, embodiment, and the fragile bonds we form in darkness.

Alberto is dead and can no longer hide it. Make-up and perfume can no longer conceal his quickly decomposing body. Dismayed, he decides to withdraw from the world, whilst forming an unusual friendship with Luly, the manager of the 24-hour gym where he works as a night guard.
