Chumi is the janitor of the summery Apartamentos Paradiso. He has turned metal detecting into a magical illusion that helps him endure his day to day life. Last days of summer he needs to find something worthwhile.

An avant-garde short film exploring the surreal boundaries of queer identity, memory, and desire. The non-linear plot follows a young protagonist navigating an emotional landscape fractured by past intimacy. Moving fluidly between waking reality and a vivid, subconscious dreamscape, the narrative ditches traditional chronological storytelling to capture the raw vulnerability of longing.Through abstract sequences, symbolic imagery, and heavy atmospheric soundscapes, the protagonist grapples with unfulfilled romantic connections and the process of self-discovery. Memories of a defining relationship surface in fragments, forcing the main character to confront their deepest desires within the safety of their own mind. Ultimately, the film acts as a lyrical sensory journey, illustrating how past love shapes personal identity and how the subconscious processes complex queer grief and affection.
