[:en]Twenty-something New Yorker Kristen battles with ankylosing spondylitis, a severe form of arthritis, and is permanently bent over. Dreaming of becoming a famous writer, she instead spends her days watching YouTube and walking dogs for a living. When Kristen’s boss sends her to walk a new client’s dog, she meets Steven, an older man with the same condition. Confronted with a mirror image of their disability, they form a connection that will change them forever.
