Ava has put much of her own life on hold to care for her mother, building her days around a relationship that is loving, demanding and increasingly difficult to sustain. When her mother makes a request Ava cannot easily accept, tensions within the family push her toward an elaborate imagined world. There, familiar people appear in altered forms and long-suppressed desires become harder to ignore. Her feelings for Jessa belong to the future she once hoped to pursue and the possibilities she has left unresolved. Moving between caregiving and fantasy, the film follows a woman trying to understand what she owes the person she loves and what she is allowed to want for herself.
