A man who builds everything except his own heart finally falls—and learns love needs blueprints too.
Wood engineer Richard lives a life like a construction. Highly engaged in his career his private life consists of nothing but short purely sexual affairs. When he first meets Teresa everything changes. The unexpected tenderness, intimacy and the longing it brings pulls him right in. Richard is booked for a wild ride of love, passion, ease and freedom and his time with Teresa becomes a journey towards his own feelings and the question arises: Where do I belong? But the answer Richard finds hits Teresa’s sore spot and suddenly he realizes that he basically knows nothing about her. Where she comes from, where she wants to go, who she is…
