Plot

[edit]

It's the story about a teenager who only has one wish: to feel something - anything. One day he pushes his longing to the limit.

Critical reception

[edit]

"Eicke Bettinga touches on the big, abstract themes of solidarity, of human connection, of isolation, numbness and sacrifice."— Cannes Nisimazine[2]
