Plot
Daniel is an odd guy who lives with his endlessly quarrelling parents uncomplaining about his destiny.

He will be turning nineteen and the last thing he would spend his time on is a preparation for his approaching graduation.
Adam is his classteacher. He is gay who lives in a relationship with his younger partner David and his strictly guarded secret keeps locked behind a door of their apartment.
Daniel and Adam live in their own bubbles until a moment when they find themselves together in a life-threatening situation. Lost in the darkness, cut off from the rest of the world, they are both looking for a way out. How far will they be willing to go?
