Synopsis

Helmet, a young queer looking for intimacy is obsessed by a cruising spot located around the parking Rent a car Relax. He's hanging around there days and nights, but intimidated by his desire, he connects clumsiness and provocations towards the place's keeper: calling and hanging up on her, stealing from the lost and found box, spying... One night, a fight between two cruisers occurs in one of the cars and the guard intervenes. Helmet comes to help her.
