After the pandemic isolated him from his normal life and friends, a boy must deal with the unbearable dullness of a new life at home, the hurtful and escapist trappings of nostalgia, and distorted perceptions of life and his family through seeking the colors that defined the best years of his youth. A zero-budget experimental short film that expresses universal feelings of loss, paranoia, and hope the world experienced during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic through some abstract scenarios and sounds.
