Abstract Realism

Tonio, an artist of some renown, is in self-imposed hiding after having been attacked and left scarred. Now Tonio’s only contact with the world is his sister Jessie, who is also his agent. She implores him to do more than spend his time at his studio or in the park where he sometimes goes to draw. When his paintings go on display at a gallery, Jessie convinces Tonio he must attend the opening night festivities and a party a few days afterward, thrown by the gallery’s owner.

Jonam, the handsome owner of a close protection service, meets Tonio in the park, where he admires his sketches. Tonio rebuffs him, only to see him...and avoid him again at the gallery opening.

On the night of the party, Tonio’s attacker calls to threaten him. When Tonio doesn’t appear at the party, his sister and Jonam come to his apartment to find him. After hearing the details of the attack, Jonam reveals he is a bodyguard and offers his services to Tonio. The question then becomes, will Jonam be able to keep Tonio safe and in the process teach him to accept he is not defined by the scars he carries but by what he is inside?
