Set in the summer of 2000, 14 year old Lucian explores his sexuality through fantasy in a pre-internet world. Lucian is a 14 year closeted gay kid going through puberty. He doesn’t know how to communicate in a world that doesn’t speak his language so he lives in isolation, observing the world as an outsider. With the fear of ever exposing who he really is, Lucian seeks comfort in fantasy and lives his life in a daydream.
