A group of boys, aged from 12 to 23, is at a station waiting for the last train. One of them, Sacha, contemplates the heavens and speculates about how the planets move within the universe. Alex, the youngest, conducts a human scale demonstration: each of them represents a planet. He tries to position them in relation to each other to get them to rotate around the sun. After some squabbling, an awkward and hypnotic choreography falls into place on the platform.
In the end, the life-size model is dismantled by the arrival of the 12.17pm train.
