An aging Nova moves through desolate boxing gym as fragments of his past drift into the present. Sun-drenched memories of unconditional friendship and his deep bond with Kyra flicker against the quiet of his current world, weaving a poignant meditation on friendship, masculinity and the soft marks that time leaves behind.
