Ruben, a 26-year-old suffocated by his depression and anxiety, returns home to Haiti to reconnect with his
estranged father on his deathbed. The moment Ruben arrives on land, he is spiritually confronted by the presence
of his father and struggles to navigate the country he no longer knows.

As Ruben makes his way to his father’s house in the mountains on foot, he gets bombarded by a group of street
kids who demand money for their impromptu music performance. Ruben’s aloof instinct brushes them off, but one
curious kid holding a camcorder (Young Boy), sneaks away from the group and follows Ruben. The Young Boy
insists on accompanying Ruben even though Ruben repeatedly dismisses him. When Ruben notices that he
cannot get rid of the Young Boy, they make a deal. The Young Boy can tag along as long as he navigates the
unfamiliar parts of the terrain, leads the shortcut routes, keeps quiet, and stays six feet away from Ruben at all
times

Despite Ruben’s demands, the Young Boy continues to talk his head off. The Young Boy wants to connect with
Ruben on a familial level, but Ruben’s trauma toward family prevents Ruben from being vulnerable to him.

The deeper they get on their journey, the more Ruben begins to spiral in his anxiety. He continues to see visions of
his father and begins to lose his grip on reality. The Young Boy wants to help, but he is not accustomed to this
intense expression of emotions and does not know where to even begin. This contrast puts a strain on Ruben and
the Young Boy’s relationship, but the more they open up to each other, the more they learn about themselves and
the longings they share. The Young Boy’s youthfulness inspires Ruben to embrace his radical imagination that
ignites his healing journey. On the other hand, Ruben’s determination to reconnect with his father, despite the pain
it causes him, gives the Young Boy hope that one day he will find his own family.

Collectively, their memories coincide, creating visions and models of what they would like their family to become. As
they interact with locals along the way and hear their stories of joy and pain, it becomes more apparent that they
must love out loud and break generational trauma together. With this new mentality, their spiritual awareness shifts
from a dark cloud to a positive orb that guides them both toward home.

In the end, the Young Boy finds an unlikely and chosen family at a community center for street kids where he finds
love and a future for himself. Ruben, on the other hand, arrives at his father’s house as a new man who is almost
unrecognizable to his family. He connects with his aunts and uncles before coming face to face with his father.

When he finally sees his father for the first time, Ruben and his father do not say a word to each other. There is
tension in his father’s eyes, but Ruben's eyes lead with love. “It’s alright to look at me”, Ruben warmly tells his
father. His father locks eyes with Ruben, and with this look alone, nothing else in the world matters but their love for
each other. There is a sense of freedom that exudes from them and welcomes tranquility. Soon, the men melt into
each other's arms and a cacophony of memories, emotions, and longings simultaneously ignite and extinguish in a
single, long overdue embrace.
