Ezra, a trans man, was never able to access the medical transition he desired. 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. Time has changed, Leo now looks at him with a mixture of interest, attraction, and regret. 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. The romance turns into a rough patch, filled with doubts and half-confessions, but also an unexpected chance for redemption. The question that runs through the story is not only whether they will be able to love each other, but whether Ezra will be able to love himself first, even in a skin he didn't choose.
