Two sisters learn about the existence of their long-lost biological mother, but the younger is unable to accept the fact that she was abandoned as a child.

VIBE

A quiet, deeply human drama exploring the lingering shadows of the past. It feels like a hushed conversation, full of unspoken emotions and the weight of difficult truths. A contemplative, character-focused experience.
