Film Description:
Jona loses control of reality after an intense audition, while Noa watches him with fascination from a distance. Moments later, when Noa catches Jona hurting himself to regain control, an unexpected bond develops between the two. As they wander the hallways of the drama school together, they share their fears, doubts and, at the same time, passion for the future. Jona and Noa struggle with their personal challenges. Jona’s fear of failure and Noa’s struggle with her health threaten to overwhelm them. While both fear for their futures, they find their own way to stay grounded in pursuit of their goal of being accepted. Their relationship grows from acquaintances to temporarily interdependent friendship, as they encourage each other to stay true to themselves and pursue their passions despite the obstacles that may come their way
