Synopsis
Harry has a large birthmark on the side of his face, which he lets dominate his life. Lonely and unloved, he flees the city and heads for the sea where he maroons his car on a deserted beach and lives in it. His equilibrium is destroyed when he saves the life of a man named Flint. As their lives become intertwined, the film turns into a playful take on sexual tensions.
