Synopsis

Ben is "back on the dick": After a series of failed attempts at relationships with women, the New York odd jobber is finally having sex with men again. The initiations are initially rather random, online or in clubs. But then he meets the data technician Sam in front of a hip bookstore and successfully flirts with him and Nietzsche. "You're beaming," Ben's sister says in surprise. But Ben and Sam both carry around wounds that have not yet healed. Matthew Fifer and Kieran Mulcare embed their gay love story in the fascinating queer cosmos of New York between clubbing, cultural events and sexual intimacy. In the very personal film, they tell the story of two young men who let their inner walls fall for each other and discover beauty behind them.
