Our protagonist — whose real name we never learn — goes through a series of online hookups, each time pretending to be the person he last hooked up with. He has conversations, sometimes quite deep and illuminating, with the men he hooks up with, and has a wide variety of sexual experiences with them, but we can never be sure what is his truth and what is the persona du jour.
The sex scenes simulate explicit sexual activity, and some of it is pretty steamy, especially if you like skinny twinks, but more of the focus is on the conversations than the sex. The film, like its main character, is enigmatic but engaging; it held my interest for the full hour and a half. Highly recommended.
