Abstract: The set $D_{A_0}$, of pairs of orthogonal projections $(P,Q)$ in generic position with fixed difference $P-Q=A_0$, is shown to be a homogeneus smooth manifold: it is the quotient of the unitary group of the commutant $A_0\text{'}$ divided by the unitary subgroup of the commutant $P_0,Q_0\text{'}$, where $(P_0,Q_0)$ is any fixed pair in $D_{A_0}$. Endowed with a natural reductive structure (a linear connection) and the quotient Finsler metric of the operator norm, it behaves as a classic Riemannian space: any two pairs in $D_{A_0}$ are joined by a geodesic of minimal length. Given a base pair $(P_0,Q_0)$, pairs in an open dense subset of $D_{A_0}$ can be joined to $(P_0,Q_0)$ by a {it unique} minimal geodesic.
