      Set in a luxury housing complex, the story follows two misfit teenagers, Franco and Polo, who grapple with their unfulfilled desires and bleak realities. Franco, struggling with loneliness and an obsession with a married neighbor, contrasts with Polo, who yearns to escape his demanding job and oppressive home life.
