By @Magdaléna Myšková
Amelie, a shy and observant high-school student, finds her quiet world irrevocably altered by Dalibor, a senior whose casual glances ignite an unexpected spark.

The stakes are her heart, exposed and vulnerable, as Dalibor's increasingly bold gestures threaten to shatter her carefully constructed emotional walls. The central conflict lies in Amelie's struggle to overcome her paralyzing fear of vulnerability and confess her true feelings before the unspoken desire between them fades, or worse, is misinterpreted.
