When Addy, a sharp-tongued, non-binary, neurodivergent teen displaced by wildfire, clashes with Paul, a grieving engineer whose town burned to the ground, the two are forced into an unlikely partnership inside a Ten-Step Climate Grief program. As generational tensions flare and secrets surface, their shared losses pull them beyond blame and into something far more fragile: connection. Urgent, intimate, and unexpectedly hopeful, solastalgia confronts climate anxiety, complicity, and survival in a burning world, asking whether healing ourselves might be the first radical act of saving it.
with Em Forest, Tom Fiscella and Lisette Miranda

Or is violence sometimes the only option left to save the people you love?
