“A body that reacts to everything, a mind that keeps searching for light.”
This short film is a personal visual story about living with Hereditary alpha-tryptasemia, a rare inherited genetic condition with no cure.
It explores what it feels like to live in a body that constantly reacts to everyday things, sunlight, food, the environment, even emotions. The physical pain is only part of it. There is also isolation, mental strain, and a reality that often goes unseen.
As the outside world becomes harder to navigate, a quieter one begins to form. Books, knowledge, and small unnoticed creatures become a way of staying connected to life.
This is a story about living with an invisible condition, about the connection between physical and mental health, and about holding on to hope even when everything feels fragile.
