Told through the eyes of a high school teen, this film depicts the lonely reality of studying abroad layered with the spoken and unspoken nuances communicated between a mother and son. Set during the backdrop of the global pandemic, the film portrays the acute ripple effects of Covid-19 that impact lives, shatter families, and alter commonplace routines once taken for granted. The film takes place in idyllic Hawaii, yet nothing is ever as it seems.
