A group of teenagers wade through the marsh and they tell each other about their wartime experiences in online games. They arrive at the Roman baths and spend the night sitting in the water; they bathe, they talk. The warm water opens their pores, making their skin porous and the young men sensitive toward one another, their dreams, their fates. Just like the legionnaires who sit in these baths over two thousand years ago and set out into an uncertain future. As dawn breaks, they say goodbye to one another.
