Nicholas Judt's short film is an abstract tour through a teenage boy's memories of growing up in New York City. The film follows the boy as he retraces key moments from his past in hope of once more reconnecting with his past self before progressing towards a future identity. In doing so, he also revisits the bittersweet memories of a relationship he had with a girl his age. As the film progresses, the lines between memory and current reality begin to blur, leaving the boy—as well as the viewer—in a state of intense experiential uncertainty and sorrow.
