“A comedy full of youth, suspense and lies!”

DramaComedy

Jota's suicide attempt is interrupted when a motorcyclist crashes off a bridge. After he rescues her, he decides to invent a life story for her — one of love and shared memories — creating a fragile web of deception that intertwines their fates.

VIBE

A darkly funny, yet poignant exploration of manufactured lives. It feels like a bittersweet indie ballad, exploring the fragile connections we build when faced with profound loneliness and the desperate need for a fresh start.
