On Christmas Eve, Alexandre, a lonely young man burdened by his own emotional defenses, invites Guilherme—a male escort who has just been kicked out of his home—to stay at his house. As the hours pass, the ordinary night transforms into a deep dive into the vulnerabilities, fears, and desires of both, showcasing the hesitant and contradictory construction of an inescapable connection that remains uncertain: whether it is love, friendship, or simply the recognition of two mirrored lonely souls.
