The movie, adapted from Robert Chesley's homoerotic play of the same title, revolves around two men who started out as phone sex buddies who grew on each other through time. The fragility of this kind of relationship is put to fore when Bert (Tom Wagner) got sick and couldn't return his calls. J.R. was left with nothing to hold on to but blank hope. No warning. No goodbye. Bert is gone.

The film pays homage to the revitalization of the art of poetry in the Polish language in the second half of the 20th century. Its visual style is based on underground publications in Poland in the 1970s and 1980’s, known as Bibula.
