A contemplative fantasy about serendipitous human connection and unfinished grief, where a woman's encounters with strangers become a spiritual journey toward closure.

Lives intertwine and connect when Francesca navigates through the living world by encountering strangers at the exact moment she needs to. All while she secretly searches for a loved one that she never had the chance to say goodbye to.
