A game for two players who pretend to be lovers, separated by light-years of deep space. Each takes calm walks along a desolate beach in the holodeck of a remote space station, gathering phrases about love and loss from the novels of Marguerite Duras. Then they meet in a small café on the boardwalk, over wine, cigarettes and old French songs, where a surreal game of chess becomes the way they talk. See love grow, blossom and wither.
