“Forgiveness is a bitter pill to swallow.”
Drama
After having visions of a member of her support group who killed herself, a woman who also suffers with chronic pain seeks out the widower of the suicide.
VIBE
This is a somber, raw character study, unflinchingly exploring the heavy weight of chronic pain and profound grief. It's a melancholic, yet empathetic slow-burn, offering an intimate look at a journey towards resilience. The film feels deeply personal and unvarnished.
