In a stark white room, a naked man is crawling in a circle on an unmade bed. He is trying to remember the men he had sex with on the bed by searching for their smells. A fragmentary account of his encounters is layered within a dense electronic soundscape of whispering voices, evoking a sense of whispering voices, evoking a sense of memory and loss and the fear of death.
