A tender, intimate story about a nonverbal boy and a kind adult finding connection and purpose through the shared language of photography in a small coastal town.

Oscar, a nine-year-old boy who is unable to speak, struggles to adapt in the small fishing town he has just moved to with his widowed, hard-working mother Evelyn. Because of a broken film format camera, an unlikely friendship develops between Oscar and kindly workshop owner Eric.
