Boris is middle-aged, pot-bellied and bald, and also madly in love with the young and handsome Cezar. But Boris was born out of Cezar's side and is the size of a mouse. He lives a secret life entirely dedicated to the person who is both his origin and the object of his affection. Everything changes the day when Cezar, who doesn't know Boris exists, brings a woman back to the love nest.
