Marc is as tiener uit die huis verstoot nadat hy die waarheid omtrent sy seksualiteit onthul het en sy pa dit nie kon aanvaar nie. Jare later keer hy terug – nie net uit 'n pligsgevoel nie, maar omdat dit moontlik die laaste kans is om die stukke van sy gebroke verlede weer aanmekaar te sit. Sy pa, nou verlore in die spookwêreld van Alzheimer's, herken hom nie meer nie. Hy verwar hom met sy ander seun, wat in herinnering bewaar is, onaangeraak deur teleurstelling of tyd. Marc kies om nie sy pa reg te help nie en onderwerp homself aan 'n stille, pynlike proses: om uiteindelik werklik gesien te word.
Marc was cast out of his home as a teenager after revealing a truth about his sexuality that his father could not accept. Years later, Marc returns – not only out of obligation, but because this might be the last time he can piece together his fractured past. His father, now lost in the confusing, shifting world of Alzheimer's, no longer recognises him. He mistakes him for his other son, who is preserved in memory, untouched by disappointment or time. Marc chooses not to correct his father but steps into a ghostly realm and submits to a quiet, aching process: to be seen.

Ná 'n groot uitval met sy beste vriendin beland hy in 'n warm, verwelkomende haarsalon – ver buite sy gemaksone – waar Fernanda, 'n lewenslustige haarkapper met haar eie letsels, iets in hom herken en hom uit sy harde dop lok. Sy begin hom uitdaag om anders na homself en die mense rondom hom te kyk. Wanneer hy dan tog weer van alles en almal wil wegdraai, besef hy dat hy besig is om in die man wat hy nooit wou word nie te verander. Gaan Freek Fernanda se hand vat en die angswekkende sprong uit isolasie waag?
Freek is a socially awkward young man who has cut himself off from the world. He hides behind cynicism and a quiet rage, inherited from his emotionally unstable father. After a major fallout with his best friend, he ends up in a warm, welcoming hair salon – far outside his comfort zone – where Fernanda, a vivacious hairdresser with his own scars, recognises something in him and draws him out of his hard shell. She begins to challenge him to see himself and the people around him differently. When he wants to turn away from everything and everyone again, he realises he is turning into the...
