Storyline
| Plot Summary |
While wandering the neon-lit streets of New York City, desperate to find shelter, Tereek, an unhoused teenager living on the margins of society, comes across Artie, a deafblind man trying to get home. Reluctantly, Tereek decides to lend a hand, only to find himself bonding with his unlikely new friend. And, little by little, as the perfect strangers embark on a silent, night-long journey in the heart of the city, a life-altering transformation begins to take place. Is love the essence and purpose of being human? Written by Nick Riganas |
