A dark comedy about humankind’s desire to love and to be loved. Centred around neediness, intimacy and romance. Told through a series of loosely connected, tender and absurd scenes, the film follows people who are searching for closeness and acceptance. In a world that preaches self-control, the film explores the sides we try to hide, such as feeling needy and pathetic. The stories overlap and reappear, gradually forming a portrait of collective longing.

A tortoise crawls across the floor. A man sits on the couch, dead. A year passes, the mail by the door piles up as the man slowly rots. The starving and lonely tortoise begins to panic.
