Salomé Carter, a 22-year-old film student, dreams of directing despite living with multiple sclerosis (MS), which affects her mobility, energy, and cognition in unpredictable ways. Determined and independent, she refuses to let her condition define her. During a film screening, she meets Seth Sullivan, a reserved anthropology student with a passion for mythology. Drawn to her creativity, he agrees to help her on a short film project. As they grow closer, Seth struggles with his fear of attachment, haunted by the loss of his older sister. Salomé, used to handling things alone, resists letting anyone care for her. Their relationship wavers between attraction and distance as Seth learns how to support her without overprotecting, and Salomé realizes accepting help doesn’t make her weak. When she receives an opportunity to present her film abroad, both must confront their fears: Seth of losing someone again, and Salomé of being too much for someone to love.

Character info

Salomé Carter

Salomé Carter, 22, is a passionate film student with a sharp wit and a fierce independence. Diagnosed with multiple sclerosis as a teenager, she experiences unpredictable symptoms—fatigue, mobility issues, and cognitive fog—but refuses to let her illness define her. She has learned to adapt, structuring her life around good and bad days while fiercely protecting her autonomy. Growing up in Seattle with supportive but overprotective parents, Salomé has always fought to prove her capability. She pours her energy into filmmaking, crafting visually striking stories that challenge societal norms. She dislikes being treated as fragile and uses humor to deflect concern. Meeting Seth forces her to confront her own walls—while she resists being cared for, she also fears being abandoned if her condition becomes too much. As she faces a career-changing opportunity, she must decide if she can let someone love her without feeling like a burden. .

Seth Sullivan

.Seth Sullivan, 23, is a reserved anthropology student with a deep fascination for mythology and folklore. Raised in Portland by bookshop-owning parents, he grew up surrounded by stories. But the most defining chapter of his life was losing his older sister, Claire, to a genetic illness. Since then, he’s kept people at a distance, afraid of forming attachments that might end in loss. Quiet and introspective, Seth observes before he speaks, often retreating into books and films rather than confronting emotions. He works as a projectionist at an indie cinema, finding comfort in dark, silent spaces. When he meets Salomé, her passion and confidence captivate him, but her MS forces him to face his deepest fears—watching someone he cares about struggle. He learns to support her without overstepping, while she challenges him to stop hiding from life. As their connection deepens, Seth must decide if he’s ready to risk love despite the fear of loss.
