SYNOPSIS

Elias has always desired to have children and dreams of starting a family. In contrast, Christian values their current free-spirited lifestyle in an open relationship, where they have the time and resources to travel, purchase expensive designer furniture, and care for one another. Elias has managed to suppress his longing for a family for a long time. However, upon commencing his new job as a psychologist at a boarding school, it seems as though the dam has broken. He must come to terms with the fact that a life without external human responsibilities can never be a fulfilling one for him.
