Román is an actor who works in B-movies and who’s isolated in his apartment as a pandemic keeps the world on edge. Aldo, an indigenous young man, is an essential worker who’s allowed by the authorities to come and go. They live across from each other in an apartment complex. They meet online, and they can talk and even see each other in videocalls, but they can’t meet in person. Eventually, the temptation to break out of their lockdown comes up.

An isolated actor and an essential worker build a digital bridge to cross the physical divide of their apartment complex. This quiet connection turns the crushing loneliness of a global lockdown into a fragile, intimate lifeline.
