Synopsis
Alex, Lino and Liz, three sons of diplomats, live together in Brasilia enjoying the freedom inside an empty apartment with no parents, seemingly unaware of the world outside. Their lives change irrevocably when they meet ‘X’, a person with no name or past, who suggests taking the idea of living every day as it was the last one.

A comment from an Imdb user:
It’s been a while since I saw this film, so I’ll talk about as much as I can remember. I happened to catch this film at the Sundance Film Festival. I knew nothing about the directors status or his past work. I heard from others at the festival that this film was straight up gay porn, which caught my interest.
