SYNOPSIS
Billy (19) is a former child prodigy who invented and hosted a successful music podcast at the age of 9. Today he lives with his eccentric mother Regina, he is secretly in love with one of his neighbours, he only hangs out with children between the age of 8 and 12 and he doesn’t really know what to do with his life. Until he meets his childhood idol, Zippo, a rocker who has been out of the scene for years. Their similarities will lead them to finding a way to face life. But the things we long for don’t always turn out the way we hope for.
