FLOWERS WEAR NO SHOES

Synopsis

A child lives beside an adult who is physically present but no longer truly sees him. Everyday gestures become signs of emotional absence, and the boy turns increasingly towards imagination and nature in search of connection. When no response arrives, he makes a silent and radical decision — an innocent but unsettling attempt to be recognised in a world that seems unable to hear him.
