Otto lives in a remote village, where he spends his time with his two best friends. Yet Otto deals with a constant absence. For a while now Ottos’s boyfriend, Casimir, who is a professional dancer, has been living a thousand miles away to work on his dancing career. Meanwhile, Otto finds comfort in his lover’s movements and uses his own body to fight against the ongoing distance.
