Sofia works as a location scout for a TV pilot filming in New York City. It’s her job to find the homes, businesses, and exteriors where the show will be filmed. Driving around the city's different neighborhoods, she enters the private spaces of strangers to photograph their cozy apartments and eclectic shops, stepping into the fabric of their lives while trying to satisfy the demands of her erratic employers. Over a day filled with these encounters, Sofia witnesses moments of curiosity, vulnerability, and quiet tension until her work takes a sudden, personal turn.

The Scout
Sofia’s silence in uncomfortable situations is understandable, freezing is the most practical response. She visits so many homes that project ease, stability, and control, while her own life remains unstable and precarious. That contrast turns every encounter into a reminder of how little room she has to take up space, especially in a city where setting boundaries is so expensive.
