Roger lives in an emotional stasis, since leaving his partner, Bart, and their eight year old daughter, Jessica. Bart, Jessica's natural father, retains custody of her. Every second Friday, when Roger and Jessica are united, a sense of hope returns to Roger, and every second Sunday, when he returns her to Bart, his pain returns and he spends his waking moments floating like a satellite around the life he used to have. Eventually, Roger's love for his daughter moves his life forward.
