Synopsis

The film, told entirely in sign language, is set in a rehab center for deaf youth struggling with addiction. As a new patient, the main character finds himself drawn to a long-term resident and struggles to navigate their growing connection amidst the challenges of recovery. His newfound feelings bring to light the age-old dilemma of the "hedgehog's dilemma", in which the desire for closeness and connection is constantly at odds with the need for self-protection and distance.
