Hope.
Such a misinterpreted word isn't it?
The meaning of the word changes for each individual.
For some, it's just a few letters stringed together.
But for others, it's a matter of life and death.
For these two boys 'hope' definitely means the latter.
It's something both of them want, yet, are so far from getting.
Each time they take one step forward, it's almost as if they're dragged two steps back.
So close, yet, so far.
Tyler is blind and Luca is hurting.
A coming-of-age story, where life does whatever the hell it wants.
