A tender, introspective coming-of-age drama about a disabled woman's journey toward sexual autonomy, independence, and self-discovery amid family conflict and emotional awakening.

Yuma, a 23-year-old comic book artist with profound cerebral palsy, has been emotionally stunted by her well-meaning but overprotective mother. As she begins to seek independence and sexual awakening on her own terms, she discovers an unexpected path to love and forgiveness.
