A self-love story of discovery, acceptance, and the transformative power of art. Lucia is a closet poet, so when she attends an open mic for the first time and is faced with signing up to perform, she declines. She opts instead to just take it all in as an audience member and throughout the course of the evening her memory is triggered by the performances.
