NOTES

Alex, a struggling teen from a devoutly religious family, feeling overwhelmed by life's pressures and expectations has an out-of-body experience while contemplating suicide thus triggering a spiritual awakening and finding a sense of belonging. While on this journey, Alex witnesses how his family would be affected, their reactions to his absence, moments of reflection, and spiritual insight. Drawn to a moment when his family finds a letter filled with pain but also love and hope, Alex observes the powerful discussions that unfold. This opens a dialogue about mental health, revealing the hidden struggles they all share
