"Young rent boy Sebastian is one of Georg's little opportunities left to break out of his solitary life and exchange it for a brief coexistence ? at least for a couple of hours. Georg loves Sebastian's easyness and playfulness. He loves the absurd stories the boy sponateously comes up with even though he never really knows if he can believe them or not.
And today a long cherished wish seems to come true for Georg. This time the boy asks him if he could stay the night ? on his own free will. Georg does everything to entirely savour the rare and valuable moments. He hopes for more. But the more Georg dares to approach the boy the more Sebastian withdraws. In just a short time the boys seems to advance in quite a few years. Georgs hopes break into pieces.
In the light of a pocket torch the last remaining night becomes a declaration of love to the times spent and to all people who've brushed life for just a short and brief moment ? it becomes a moving protest against transitoriness."
