Description
Luke lives in a world where rules dictate that third children are forbidden. Hidden away in his family's house, he struggles with the isolation and loneliness brought about by a society that deems him an illegal existence. As he spends his days watching the outside world from his attic window, he dreams of what life could be like beyond the confines of his home.
One day, everything changes when he discovers another shadowy presence in the neighborhood—a girl named Jen who dares to challenge the oppressive norms that dictate their lives. Through their clandestine friendship, Luke begins to explore themes of freedom, rebellion, and the desire to belong in a world that seeks to stifle individuality. Their connection ignites a fire within him, pushing him to consider his own identity and the risks associated with truly living.
