A contemplative, melancholic portrait of an elderly woman confronting isolation and mortality through memory and the changing seasons.

On the last day of summer in a small seaside resort town, an older woman named Louise realizes that the last train has departed without her. She finds herself alone in the town, abandoned by everyone. As the weather turns for the worse and with no one to keep her company, louise must rely on her past to help her survive the present.
