​

This is the story of Samuel, just one of many young victims of eco-anxiety, who decides to take his survival into his own hands.

​

Samuel lives every day in fear that the world is on the brink of collapse. As a result he never leaves his room. However, it is soon apparent that he is not just hiding from the perils of the physical world but also hiding from the reality of life at home, where he is struggling to adjust to life with his new stepmum.

 
For the youngest among us the future can appear to contain nothing but disaster and destruction, but hiding from the world will achieve nothing. By confronting his fears Samuel learns that he is not alone and finally connects with his stepmum and embraces the world outside his bedroom walls.

​

The film has been rereleased on Fully Focused's Million Youth Media.​
