It's Christmas time. Shortie, Beanpole, Alekos and Sinoue, everyday people, decide to reinvent themselves because in the garden of god everything seems the same. They play ball, keep notes, lose their friends, strike their enemies, working out in the yard, learning how to dance, reciting poetry. They drink alcohol, paint, set fire to their bodies. And they promised to themselves, this Christmas to "make their way down" to the sea.
