Young Noah wakes up in a deserted forest, injured, confused, and with no memory of how he got there. Struggling with a painful wound on his leg, he desperately searches for a way out. His journey through the forest becomes increasingly strange as he finds mysterious clues, including a worn-out vest he has come across before. He is caught in a spiral of confusion and fear that drives him ever further.
At one point he comes to a fishing camp where he tries to steal food on the sly. However, he is caught by an older man, Klaas, who holds him at gunpoint but eventually decides to help by bandaging his wound. Klaas gives him advice and encourages him to overcome his inner struggle.
Noah continues on and finds his way to a residential area, where he asks for help from a woman named Sophie. Just when he thinks he is safe, he sees a news report on television that he is wanted for murder. In panic, he flees back into the woods.
The story eventually reveals that Noah's experience in the forest was a mental struggle. He is actually in a psychiatric outpatient clinic, working on his inner issues with his therapist Klaas. Noah realizes that his "captivity" is not caused by the forest or his surroundings, but by himself. In a breakthrough moment, he recognizes that "the path to freedom lies within himself."
The story ends with Noah seemingly finding peace in this realization, while the sound of the ticking clock symbolically concludes his journey to self-acceptance.

Description
A total of 4 actors are being sought, 'Noah' (18-22), 'Klaas' (50-60), 'Sophie' (28-35) and 'Jimmy' (3-6).

Noah (22 years old):

Klaas (78 years old):

Sophie (35 years old):
Sophie is a caring mother of Jimmy (5 years old). She is kind but her concern for her child makes her both protective and vulnerable.

Jimmy (5 years):
Jimmy is Sophie's son, he is very curious and playful.
