A poignant and triumphant story about the power of love, friendship, and persistence to change a life forever, Almond is a poignant tale of two individuals who find common ground in their struggles. Born with a brain condition that makes it hard for him to feel emotions, Yunjae's life is turned upside down when a shocking act of violence shatters his world. As he struggles to cope with his loss, he develops a surprising bond with a troubled teenager, Gon, and begins to open his life to new people.
