Synopsis: When a sexual transgression is inflicted upon a pubescent boy at the hands of an older teenage male, the two silently ricochet between anger and longing, fear and denial while on a beach vacation with their families. Submerged under the weight of toxic masculinity, the film unpacks a uniquely male mode of communication, using the camera to explore rigid bodies, repressed emotion, and sudden bursts of shocking violence.
