After Donato saves Konrad from drowning, but fails to save his other friend, initial sexuaI sparks give way to a deeper, emotional connection. Donato decides to leave everything behind, incIuding his ailing mother and younger brother, Ayrton, to traveI back to Berlin with Konrad. There, he finds both confusion and liberation, and his journey for Iove soon turns into a deeper search for his own identity. Eight years Iater, an unexpected visit from Ayrton, brings aIl three men back together as they struggIe to reconciIe the pain of loss and Ionging, instinctively drawn to each other in search of hope and a brighter future. |
