Alec, a soft-spoken, introverted teenager, has always viewed life through the lens of his father’s small-time pornography business, their home doubling as a set. Since his mother’s death, he’s been drawn deeper into the family business, filming and editing the content that his rough-edged father, Dylan, produces and stars in.

Dylan, an aging performer, is struggling to keep things afloat, relying on girls like Lizzie, a free-spirited adult entertainer who has formed an older-sister bond with Alec. As financial pressures mount, Dylan’s swagger begins to unravel, exposing Alec to the growing chaos around him.

When they relocate from London to a sleepy seaside town, Alec hopes for a fresh start, trying to make friends without revealing his unconventional life. Things take a turn when he meets classmate Nina, a fiercely independent girl, whose worldview couldn’t be further from the one he grew up with. As their bond deepens, Nina invites him into a realm of closeness and vulnerability that can’t be captured on camera, challenging him to explore what it means to be truly seen.
