Summer in Brandenburg. Markus is torn between the love for his grandmothers in need of care and the longing for a different life in Berlin. A crowd of shimmering demons keeps appearing in his daydreams. An allusion to the queer chosen family that awaits him in the city and saves him from his loneliness. Markus’ boxes to move to the big city are packed. So, when he falls in love with Duc things get even more complicated.
