Within the boundaries of limited space and through the visual repetition of gestures, the film immerses us in the life of Malika, a migrant worker from Sri Lanka living in Beirut. As she navigates a transformative period of grief and loss, Malika finds herself in a deep state of introspection, searching for the strength to carry on.
Her loneliness mirrors that of the elderly woman she works for, forging an unexpected connection between two seemingly disparate lives. In their shared moments of isolation and despair, an unlikely friendship emerges, creating space for both women to find solace and resilience in each other.
