Synopsis

Spoiler shield

Fourteen-year-old Otto writes a suicide letter to his family and classmates, but his attempt fails. Too ashamed to go back home, he hides. As night falls, he roams the city streets like a ghost—until a girl from his high school, Léna, recognizes him.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
