A lyrical, dual-timeline coming-of-age story that weaves together a boy's present-day search and a girl's past through the lens of wonder, cinema, and the search for connection.

The story of a young boy in the Midwest is told simultaneously with a tale about a young girl in New York from fifty years ago as they both seek the same mysterious connection.
