Edu is a 20-something-year-old Brazilian gay man living and working for Amazon in the German capital, while also struggling to fit in with the local culture. He has a serious medical condition, a consequence of his presumably promiscuous lifestyle. The gay scene in Berlin is highly sex-orientated, and Edu works occasionally works at the local sauna. There are ample opportunities for him to meet as many partners as he like. But the consequences of these encounters can be destructive. To make things worse, Amazon has not paid his health insurance, leaving him in a vulnerable and indeed embarrassing situation. What a pain in the arse. Quite literally.

Lucita is a 65-year-old woman who lives alone in a flat in the city of Valencia. She says that one night, after cooking dinner, she looked out onto the street and saw the Santa Compaña in procession. Now, a year after she saw it, she is preparing to die so that she can visit her son Vicente in hell.
