Banana Republic

A young man returns from a summer abroad to discover a quiet, tense town where memories linger like dust. He navigates a labyrinth of abandoned homes, old rivals, and whispered rumors as a search for belonging collides with the fragility of adult responsibility. A chance encounter with an enigmatic local pulls him into a web of loyalties, secret histories, and fragile alliances that blur the line between friend and foe. As loyalties shift and the past resurfaces, he must choose between escape and facing the consequences he has long avoided. The journey unfolds with intimate, restrained emotion and simmering undercurrents.
