A quirky, earnest short that balances awkward humor with a gentle message about self-acceptance.

Now, as he begins his freshman year of high school, Ronny faces a dilemma: continue his unusual diet or seek social acceptance. Embarking on a journey to find his place, Ronny must decide if there are people who will accept him for his 'disgusting' eating habits, or if he must change who he is to fit in.
