Rick is a partially disabled veteran: he lost two fingers on his left hand (pinky and ring) in Afghanistan.
Stuck with PTSD, abandoned by the veterans and society, he feels marginalized and judged.
He will eventually be invited to the non-landed club, where he will find some dignity and find a way to feel normal again.
How did they become a naturist or what is their relation to naturism?
Discovers naturism as a way to feel more normal. To accept who he is, and to meet someone without the burden of small talk.
At a naturist event, no one asks you your job, what you do, where you are from. They ask you about which resort you visited, how long you were a naturist and what your plans are.
It's simple, like when he was in the military.
Now, maybe, he can find love again.
