Over two summers, between city streets and forest paths, young art student Adnan has a series of unexpected intimate encounters Adnan, a young art student, arrives in New York City to flat-sit for the summer. He begins interning at a gallery where an unconventional older artist he once encountered is being exhibited. As moments from his past and present begin to intertwine, a series of encounters -- both artistic and erotic -- open cracks in his everyday reality.
