A long-term male patient is unable to masturbate and turns to the nurses for help in relieving his suffering. The compassionate nurses, unable to refuse his desperate pleas, gradually become drawn to his body. Without realizing it, as they respond to the patient's desires, their own emotions begin to stir. In the process, the nurses also discover feelings within themselves. Though the relationship between patient and nurse may seem unnatural at first glance, it holds something subtly compelling that draws them both in. Where the patient's pure longing meets the nurses' tenderness, a bittersweet connection forms—giving rise to the fragile buds of new emotions.
