The young callboy Sebastian is one of George's last remaining options to overcome his hermitic everyday life and to change it into an elusive companionship, at least for a few hours. George likes Sebastian's easiness and playful behaviour. He loves the absurd stories, which spontaneously come into the boy's mind. One evening, the young hustler asks if he could stay overnight. George is overwhelmed, but the more George tries to close in on Sebastian, the more the boy withdraws. George fragile balance is in danger of collapsing when the boy tells him that he wants to leave him.

Sebastian, seorang lelaki panggilan, adalah pilihan terakhir George untuk keluar dari pola hidupnya yang selalu menyendiri, memberi ruang untuk persahabatan dengan motivasi yang tak terjelaskan, walau hanya untuk beberapa jam. George suka dengan gaya Sebastian yang santai dan jenaka. Dia suka mendengar cerita-cerita tidak masuk akal yang keluar secara spontan dari kepala Sebastian. Suatu malam Sebastian bertanya apa dia boleh menginap. Hati George meluap-luap dalam kegembiraan, namun semakin George mendekat, Sebastian semakin menjauh, hingga akhirnya dunia George runtuh saat Sebastian memutuskan untuk meninggalkannya.
