Introduction

A young art student drifts through a New York summer, cat-sitting and interning at an art gallery. But a series of intimate and erotic encounters stir reflections on past loves, slowly revealing why he is awash in ennui, loneliness and sexual longing. Castro’s film is a delicate portrait of desire, memory and the fleeting intensity of human connection.
