"Tarik" (Mouad Ben-Chaib) is seeking some peace and quiet from the effects of his looming divorce, so he rents a small woodland cottage. Soon after arriving he discovers that the plumbing isn't quite what it might be, so he asks the owner - the twenty-five year old "Jonas" (Joshua Albano) to come mend it. All that young man gets for his trouble is a wetting, and he has to borrow a T-shirt from his guest and promise to return tomorrow - and it is at this point that we start to realise that the elder man is experiencing hitherto unknown feelings for "Jonas". What will, or - indeed - can, come of this? It's a fine looking short film this, with only a sparing amount of dialogue. We are left to observe how the two men come to terms with each other without any judgements or conclusions... Is it the start of something, the end of something - is there even a something at all? Worth a watch.
