DESCRIPTION
Simona and Lucas are two friends who decide to go away for the weekend. Lucas claims to be queer, but Simona doesn’t get that grey area, specially because he has always dated men. They drive to the countryside where they meet Alex, an androgynous teenager to whom Lucas is attracted. With Alex in between, the uncertainty of the nature of their relationship surfaces. They must face their feelings for each other and their own sexual identities, making decisions that put their friendship to the test.
