A man abandoned as an infant at a fire station and raised in an orphanage discovers the identity of his mother as an adult and must decide whether to contact her — a tense, intimate study of memory, indecision, and the cost of reunion. The film aims to represent people as they are: the protagonist is obese, bald and shown without makeup or stereotype, and the film intentionally amplifies minority voices that too often go unheard. Driven by hyper-real facial performance and visual detail, the film employs facial-scanning technology developed specifically for this production.
