Synopsis

In a dreamlike world where reality blurs into symbolism, a woman journeys through landscapes shaped by her past relationships, both soulful and romantic. Along the way, abstract trials and recurring symbols, especially fruit, guide her path. As she moves deeper into this emotional terrain, the line between clarity and confusion fades. Ultimately, she learns that true understanding comes not from grasping every answer, but from embracing the mystery at the heart of human connection.
