A poetic, intimate encounter between two strangers at night that uses metaphysical language and emotional vulnerability to explore connection and longing.

Night, national road. Two strangers meet for the first time at an old gas station. One has stopped to gas up his bike, while the other is just stranded. Lacking the 22 euros he needs to get home, he will try to sell him the distance that separates them from the sky.
