After discovering an abandoned house on a walk home from school, cousins Alfie and Julia, begin a journey of self-exploration in which Alfie starts to push the boundaries of binary gender expression, rejecting gendered fashion.As Alfie begins to unpack their budding queer identity, they are also forced to navigate the tides of toxic masculinity rooted in their relationship with their Irish Catholic father.

This is a film about love, loss, and the relationship we have with our own memories. In championing the mundane, the out-of-focus, and the non-linear, I hope to tap into the collective, human, and fragmented ways in which we 'try to remember' and 'start to forget' past relationships.
