La ciudad, inquieta, de noche. Asistimos a una ronda (discontinua) de once historias de personajes con diferentes relaciones: parejas, madre-hija, compañeros, hermanos, jóvenes-viejos, padre-hijo, amantes, padre-hija, madre-hijo..., que no consiguen acariciarse (comunicarse, amarse). Época actual, final de milenio. Situaciones desnudas donde el ser humano hace aflorar sus emociones más intensas y también sus más bajos instintos. Desamor, pero también amor. Muchas posibles formas de amor. Pese a la cercanía, las personas pueden ser del todo desconocidas. Hablan sin escuchar, escuchan sin oir y actuan sin mirar. Pero también puede haber una chispa de esperanza, de comunicación, unas caricias.
The city, restless, at night. A chain of eleven stories complete a circle, linked by characters with different relationships: couples, mother-daughter, friends, brother-sisters, young-old people, father-son, lovers, father-daughter, mother-son, who cannot manage to communicate through love, to caress. It is set in the present, at the end of this millennium. These are naked moments in which human beings show their most intense emotions, as well as their basic instincts, love/hate, but also love in its many forms. Despite proximity, people can be total strangers. They can talk without listening, listen without feeling and act without thinking. But there can also be a spark of hope, of communication, a few caresses.
