Adam, a lonely screenwriter in a nearly empty London tower block, drifts through his days until he meets Harry, the mysterious neighbor living upstairs. Their tentative connection shakes loose old memories and pulls Adam back to the suburb where he grew up. In his childhood home, he finds his parents apparently alive decades after their deaths, as if time has frozen inside those rooms. The film blends quiet romance and ghost story elements, exploring grief, queer desire, and the strange comfort of revisiting the past. The mood is gentle, sad, and intimate rather than flashy or frightening.
