In the quiet, fading light of a suburban summer, a young man’s carefully constructed world begins to unravel. Jaeden Martell stars as Balthazar, a teenager whose life is defined by caring for his ailing mother, played with poignant grace by Jennifer Ehle. His days are a monotonous cycle of responsibility, a stark contrast to the reckless freedom of his charismatic but troubled older brother, portrayed by Avan Jogia. When a chance encounter with a vibrant new neighbor, Asa Butterfield, offers a glimpse of a different life, Balthazar is pulled between his ingrained duty and the terrifying, exhilarating possibility of his own desires. Directed by Oscar Boyson, this intimate drama explores the quiet heroism found in ordinary life and the painful, necessary journey toward self-discovery. As relationships with his family, including his weary father Chris Bauer, and new friends like the enigmatic Anna Baryshnikov strain and shift, Balthazar must confront what it truly means to save someone—and whether he can ever save himself.
