A story about the alchemy of love.
An intimate portrait that tells the story of Anthony, a lonely history teacher, and his adopted daughter Luna. Unexpectedly Sam, his ex boyfriend, shows up one year after their separation looking for closure or perhaps trying to revive a relationship that once was.

"Anthony" (Luis Antonio Aldana) leaves his young daughter and heads out to a bar where it's clear he has some intimacy issues. They become clearer when we return to their home and "Sam" (Matias Ponce) unexpectedly visits from Chicago. The two men have a past - and the next ten minutes, set across the next day, demonstrate just how that past has affected not just them but the young and loving "Luna" (Luna Cameron). Might they be able to put all that behind them or is this just a temporary reuniting before, again, they go their separate ways? The story is simple, incomplete, accompanied by quite a gentle suite of guitar music and illustrates that there are no quick fixes or easy answers to people finding happiness and contentment either alone, or with others. Happily, it avoids the use of flashback scenes but that means we really have to guess a little too much as to what happened when and where before, but it's still an engaging look at a faded love...
