Bibiane, 25, is successful but finds her life lacks purpose. Following several unfortunate events, she gets drunk and hits a man with her car. She can’t recall anything but soon learns she is to blame for his death. Just as she is about to end it all, she meets Evian, the son of the man she killed.

VIBE

A darkly funny, existential dive into the absurdities of fate and consequence. It's a bleakly beautiful, character-driven journey that feels both unsettling and strangely hopeful, exploring guilt and the search for meaning.
