Two men gather at night at the ruins by the river. A choir of curious bystanders observes them. Everything that has happened and is happening in this area suddenly happens in one moment. At the same time, two men secretly whisper each other’s names: Dan and Christopher. Here, water itself is the medium that carries us through time. Stories, encounters and events of well over fifty years intertwine. Against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis and European fascism, the fates of the characters intertwine like tributaries of a river. Everyone is a victim of violence. They all enter into a tender, multi-voiced dialogue without knowing one about another…
