Mark and Patrik meet in Warsaw and spend the night together. Both are mature and married, fully aware that their relationship is impossible. While their minds understand the consequences, their hearts ignore the warnings. Mark is a successful, high-ranking manager at an international company in Poland. He grew up in a communist country that later transformed into a fundamentalist religious state, where hundreds of communities identify as ＂gay-free zones.＂ Mark is vulnerable and cautious, keeping his sexual preferences a secret.

On the other hand, Patrik is a retired professor who has been married to a man for over fifty years. He is openly gay and lives in a non-homophobic country.

This love story is inspired by real-life events and historical contexts that shape their experiences. Their explicit lovemaking is authentic, filled with emotion, romance, and power. The narrative offers a glimpse into the past and present, illustrating how societal norms and cultures have historically posed barriers to same-sex love. It highlights the courage and resilience of individuals who dare to love against the odds.

As they contemplate the possibility of living openly as a couple, both agree on their goal to remove the barriers that stand in their way. They find themselves still determining their life together, what the future will hold, and whether they will succeed.
