Synopsis:
While the filmmaker, who studies the labyrinthine underground passages beneath Brussels, wanders through a copy of the city built in case of a nuclear attack, his father, a physician, fights the latest threat in Ecuador: the pandemic. Their phone calls, which start out restrained and grow more and more sentimental as time passes, meld together pieces of their two realities.
