Synopsis

An older woman looks back on the loves, ambitions and imagined futures of her youth. Once she wanted to grow older so that people would respect her; now even leaving the house can exhaust her. Images of her younger self alternate with the life she inhabits today. Moving between memory and the present, the film considers regret, dignity and the possibility of finding a measure of peace when time begins to feel short.
