A meditative, visually elegant exploration of grief and isolation that gradually reveals how human connection persists even when we try to sever it.

The wife of a famous composer survives a car accident that kills her husband and daughter. Now alone, she shakes off her old identity and explores her newfound freedom but finds that she is unbreakably bound to other humans, including her husband’s mistress, whose existence she never suspected.
