GASOLINE

Jona comes to the gas station daily before 6 PM to refuel his car. He lives with obsessive-compulsive tendencies. During his daily routine, he unexpectedly reconnects with Simon at the gas station after years apart. Simon has returned because his girlfriend, who lives in Ukraine, is pregnant, and he needs money from his family. In a vulnerable moment, Simon confesses to Jona that his girlfriend had an abortion during his trip. The story delicately weaves themes of belonging, mixed signals, ambiguity, and the search for connection in a world where security and family increasingly feel like rare treasures, underscored by gentle moments and eclectic beats.
