Disability is a state of mind.

Drama

In 37 Seconds, 23-year-old comic book artist Yuma, physically disabled due to profound cerebral palsy and emotionally stunted by her well-meaning but overly protective mother, forges her own unusual path to sexual awakening and independence while at the same time discovering love and forgiveness.

VIBE

A quiet, intimate exploration of self-discovery. It feels like watching a young woman bravely navigate the complexities of her body, her art, and her desires with a gentle, unfolding honesty. A deeply personal journey of finding one's voice.
