Scopophilia: the Pleasure from Looking

In the early 1990's, five men in their 30s are discussing about their love life- late at night at a dingy bar, while juxtaposed to a current timeline with the four elder men in their 80-90s, sharing their past lives and outlook on life. The men's discussion makes us contemplate about the youth and old, the women and men, and the life and death.
