One night, after a fatal fight, Ivan decides to leave his home and flee in the middle of the night, carrying all his belongings, without money or help from anyone, until he finds a place to sleep. Reluctant to take refuge in a hostel where he shares a room with strangers, he runs back to Isaac's apartment, but no one answers the door. Unrepentant, he decides to escape to a party with his old friend, Eric (30), an unfinished memory of his past. They are accompanied to the party by Gus (27), his boyfriend, who seems quite comfortable with their open relationship... The intimacy leads them to relive the past, at the expense of Gus's feelings and Ivan's turbulent past. That night, the shadow of his crab returns to haunt Ivan... and remind him of what it felt like to fly. Written by Esteban Guerrero See less
