When a skeptical young woman, who is not a fan of horror movies, gets lost in the forest, she seeks refuge in a shelter, worried that someone or something is stalking her. It doesn't take long for the elements within it to further concern her. Creaking sounds, thunder, a very strange caretaker, and incessant phone calls make her question the terrifying reality she now finds herself in.

Pablo and one of the boys, who first taunted and teased him, strike up an unlikely rapport over Pablo’s headphones. Their brief encounter quickly gets complicated. Ode to Pablo is a rare glimpse into the world of a queer, deaf Latino who’s learned to deal with bigoted preconceptions about who he is.
