Today‘s men are forced to represent an image that is caught between showing off untouchable masculinity, intellectual overtaxing and physical insecurities. The multitude of contradictory expectations also changes the emotional foundation of relationships - when social and cultural convictions collide with feelings and lust. „It‘s been a long time“ wants to illustrate such an interpersonal story without valuing it. We want to give an insight in which the pictures remain ambivalent. We want to sketch out a conflict between two lovers, who fight each other on different frequencies.
