Two misfit males, one man-child, one boy, find each other, building a small cabin in the woods to create a new life.

The former psychiatric patient is told that his friend was just a figment of his imagination, but this provokes him to fight back and prove the boy's existence.

VIBE

A quiet, introspective journey about finding connection in isolation. It feels like a gentle, melancholic embrace, exploring the fragile nature of reality and the enduring power of the bonds we forge, even when others doubt them.
