Minho is sixteen and a student at a prestigious performing arts school, where his parents aren’t just respected teachers — they’re legends. Since early childhood, he’s been raised to be a future star: flawless speech, perfect posture, every movement rehearsed and calculated. He’s a brilliant performer — and completely hollow inside.

Minho’s life is scheduled to the minute. Offstage, his role is to be perfect. He doesn’t ask questions. He obeys. He smiles on cue.

Everything changes when the school receives a grant for an experimental play. As part of the project, they bring in a directing intern from the university — twenty-year-old Felix, the top of his class. And the most difficult.

Felix is a natural disaster in human form. He wears ripped jeans, disrupts classes, and makes remarks that make teachers go pale. He breaks routines and ignores authority — especially Minho’s parents.

Felix casts Minho in the lead role. Not because of his name. Not because of connections. But because he sees something no one else sees: a real person behind the perfect mask, desperate to break through.

And Felix will do whatever it takes to make Minho feel something.
