Plot summary

"Alexander has made a film about the jargon at the bench in projects when he grew up. A film about suburban norms, macho norms, the talk that shatters dreams, the words that kill. Now he has invited his childhood friends to show them the film. We get to follow them through a poetic and physical meeting as they realise what they have been a part of to finally daring to dream together." (the production company's synopsis)
