Plots(1)
At the end of a night out, Paulo goes for one last drink where he meets barman, Ilir. Being too drunk to get home, Ilir offers to take him back to his place. The next morning the young handsome musicians joke about sex over breakfast but without realising that this is only the beginning for their erotic journey. Despite initial hesitation the two grow closer and experiment in an sensual world neither knows much about. When Paulo's girlfriend finds out about their love affair, she kicks him out which forces him and Ilir to move in together. Whilst at first they fill their days getting to know each other's bodies and pushing their own limits and boundaries, the intensity of their relationship eventually becomes too much. Their love is severely tested by a dramatic series of events and when Ilir ends up in prison, Paulo is forced to become independent. He grows close to the older manager of a gay sex store whilst longing for Ilir to come home. (Peccadillo Pictures)
