Two boys meet in an art studio: one restrained and silent, the other gentle and obsessive. The world's prejudice drives a wedge between them. One cruelly pushes the other away, while the other believes he has been abandoned for good. Conversion therapy crushes their tenderness, and self-harm that cuts to the bone seals their fate for the rest of their lives. The truth is never spoken, not even at the end. In the end, they both sink beneath the sea, buried on an island no one knows about.
