## Synopsis

A book-loving student notices the same name signed out on every library card before hers and sets out, half-annoyed and half-curious, to find the boy behind it. What starts as a small mystery grows into a first romance and, more importantly, a quiet reckoning with her own ambitions: watching a boy chase his dream pushes her to test whether she has one worth chasing too. It's a gentle, deeply felt film about the terrifying, thrilling work of becoming yourself.
