Childish Things

Max, at thirty, still lives in his childhood bedroom, surrounded by a collection of cereal box toys. His life is an endless cycle of awkward dates that derail at the mention of his hobby and a job at a service center fixing other people's broken devices. Everything changes when he meets Sarah, an archaeologist who sees his collection not as infantilism, but as a passion for systematizing the world. Together, they embark on an absurd journey to a retro gaming convention, where Max must choose between the safety of his cozy past and the risk of an adult life with all its unpredictability. This 2025 comedy-drama explores the boundaries between hobby and arrested development, asking what we truly leave behind when we 'outgrow' our passions.
