The Story

Chasing a dream against the clock.

Kyle is an introverted poetic social outcast who struggles under his father Ivan’s expectations. Ivan needs a lung transplant, but neither of them can afford it. With encouragement from Sophie, Kyle enters a spoken-word competition and chooses to pursue his own voice while confronting the weight of family, failure, and time.

The short film explores social rejection, personal failure, familial pressure, and unwavering resolve through an intimate character-driven drama.
