Alive

In the cold industrial city of Veyrune during the late 1970s, Elias Verne lives like a ghost. Once a loving husband with dreams beyond the endless train tracks, he now spends his days repairing rail lines and surviving the silence left behind after his wife's death. His apartment has become a museum of grief, untouched by warmth, untouched by life. Everything changes the night he finds a lonely boy hiding inside the station. Lucien — quiet, fragile, carrying more sadness than a child ever should — has nowhere left to go after being abandoned by the only family he had left. What begins as a temporary act of kindness slowly transforms into something neither of them expected. Through rain-soaked streets, sleepless nights, old jazz records, photographs, and the quiet ache of memory, two broken souls begin rebuilding each other piece by piece. But healing is never simple. The past still lingers in every room. Grief still breathes between conversations. And both Elias and Lucien must learn that love does not erase pain — it simply gives people a reason to keep living beside it. Set against the melancholic beauty of 1970s Europe, ALIVE is a deeply emotional story about loss, memory, second chances, and the fragile courage required to remain soft in a world that constantly teaches people to harden. Because sometimes, being alive is not about surviving the darkness. Sometimes, it is about finding someone who makes the light feel real again.
