About the film
Two years have passed since the accident that changed Sara’s life forever. Since then, she has been trapped in a pain she cannot overcome, clinging to guilt and memories of a past she refuses to leave behind. Unable to watch her slowly destroy herself, Mario tries to reach out and help her find her way back to life. But grief does not always yield to reason, and some wounds cannot be healed by time alone. On the second anniversary of the tragedy, a conversation between them brings to the surface everything that has remained unspoken for far too long: guilt, loss, and the struggle to forgive oneself.
