Backwards

Oliver can only walk backwards. While he struggles with functioning ‘normally’ in the world, Oliver has figured out how to enjoy life even with his ‘condition’. He loves flying kites and can do it well since walking backwards lends itself to this activity. An avid kite collector, Oliver responds to a craigslist ad for a kite and picks it up in an awkward exchange before heading to the park. While at the park, he has an unexpected encounter and can suddenly walk forwards.
