Thirteen-year-old trans boy Lucho knows exactly who he is. When he spends a few days at the beach with his family, the rather distanced relationship between father and son is put to the test. They are suddenly forced to spend more time together. While Lucho is preoccupied with the changes that are taking place in his body, his father endeavours to maintain a connection to his child.
