Under the cover of darkness, glances, warm skin and bodies. Hidden from the public gaze, they come close to each other and fulfil their deepest longings. But in the moment of greatest freedom, their fears, obsessions and ultimately their loneliness also reveal themselves. Can forms of love and affection emerge in a place focused on the satisfaction of sexual needs? With four performers, Maciek Martios explores the possibilities and abysses of queer sexuality in the darkroom on a ritualistic journey through the highs and lows.
