Description: What would happen if Mishima Yukio meets Socrates? Hins, a dreamy boy who indulges in literature and thirsts for philosophy, is overwhelmed by his charismatic teacher, Antonio, who drags Hins and his religious girlfriend Joey into unchartered erotic territories. The intriguing appearance of Swan, a beautiful and intellectual lady, only adds to their entanglement of sensuality and lust. What once seemed like a path toward a surreal and unrestrained Utopia, is now barred by a lifetime secret and a lie of the heart. Will Hins's love for art and wisdom guide him through, or will he lose himself amid the chaos of eroticism?
