Wilhelm, crown prince of Sweden, and Simon, his beloved, find themselves at the heart of the day. A beautiful sunny Parents' Day at Hillerska, but your parents aren't coming. Simon, a commuter, lives in Bjärstad with his mother and sister. The plan to be alone together in the dorms has fallen apart because of August. Wilhelm decides to go to Simon's place. A bus ride, an hour's walk. Simon's mother is warm, his sister familiar. Inside Simon's room—it's cozy but cramped. Fish in the aquarium catch Wilhelm's eye. He asks about their names; Simon improvises answers on the spot. In that moment, Wilhelm steps up behind him, presses close against Simon's neck. The air in the room fills with a breathless, electric tension.
