About

A dull middle-aged gay man who sells condoms. During the day, he approaches young men in parks and toilets, and at night in public baths and gay bars, but he always gets dumped. Eventually, it became a matter of police involvement... He meets the beautiful boy of his dreams and has sex with him. The film depicts the loneliness of life's journey from beautiful youth to old age through the image of a man who wants to make that dream come true.
