Synopsis
Maryam’s days are becoming indistinguishable from one another. Surrounded by relics of a happier time, she lives each day as though waiting for something to change. Ignored by her partner and isolated by her own quiet inner-conflict, she is repeatedly disappointed as her attempts to connect on a deeper level fail again and again. After she is pushed to her breaking point, Maryam is finally forced to confront the possibilities outside of her familiar but detrimental routine.
