Years of looking at himself in the mirror with rejection have left him with shattered self-esteem and a constant silence towards the world. When he attends a school reunion, he reconnects with Leo, an outgoing man who used to bully him as a child, but he doesn't understand the depth of his words.

However, he can't believe someone like him could be seen that way, his mind is filled with voices repeating that he'll never be enough. Amidst lingering glances, painful memories, and conversations suspended in the air, the two embark on a slow and contradictory path. Leo insists on breaking down Ezra's walls, while Ezra must confront his deepest wound, his inability to love himself.
