   Summary

   It's always the same like an unspoken ritual: Pim and Charlie spend their Saturday nights together drinking at Pim's place, doing whatever and talking until they fall asleep, but after Pim makes a shocking confession, Charlie's view of his best friend is forever altered and new and repressed feelings are unearthed.
