“Some scars never heal.”

Drama

Henry is a loner and a night owl. His rare skin disease has kept him under the close watch of his fiery mother, who has sheltered him his entire life. One night, a young woman's car breaks down and Henry's life will change forever.

VIBE

A quiet, introspective journey about a sheltered young man's awakening. It feels tender and melancholic, exploring themes of isolation and the yearning for connection. A slow-burn character study that lingers long after the credits roll.
