Felix, a 16-year-old boy, receives a diagnosis of an incurable disease and sees his life turned into uncharted territory. Unable to accept this new reality, he goes through the stages of grief denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, a delicate beginning of acceptance. Amidst the emotional chaos, Felix finds an unexpected refuge in filmmaking. Films begin to offer not only comfort, but a new way of seeing the world and himself. It is then that his passion is born: telling stories. Driven by the need to give meaning to his life, he decides to transform his journey into art and begins to write and direct a film about his own life.
