Caught between the harsh reality of his home and dreams of adventure beyond the hills, he feels the pressure to meet family expectations, especially from his strict father, who longs for his son to continue the family tradition in farming. One day, while gathering hay in the field, Charlie makes an unexpected friend: a wanderer who, errant and wise, shares stories of a world full of possibilities beyond the borders of the town.
Together, they discover a sense of freedom in nature that offers them a respite from everyday life. This encounter awakens in Charlie a deep desire to explore and break the chains of routine.

With a touching backdrop and a blend of tenderness and pain, the story takes us through the ups and downs of youth, the struggle for identity, and the search for purpose in a world that often feels restrictive.
