Sofia lives in isolation with her father in a house filled with silence, fear, and memories of her missing mother. The girl has never ventured beyond the familiar walls of her home and has never heard the noise of the city—she could only imagine it, building a miniature city of her dreams from the fragments around her. One evening, a boy who had gotten lost in the forest bursts into their lives, and this encounter will change Sofia’s life forever.
