Synopsis

A former captain, suffering from post- traumatic stress disorder, lives with his daughter in a house located by the sea, where they live an isolated and harsh life. Despite the captain’s deep desire to be a devoted father, he finds himself unable to connect with his daughter in the way that he longs to. One morning, their lives change forever when an unforeseen event occurs. Whether it proves to be a newfound source of hope or an additional burden remains to be seen.

Directors' Statement

Our film centers around the human spirit, and we embarked on a six-year journey to make this film. Despite facing challenges like sanctions, limited budget and illness, our personal experiences and a sense of mission provided the motivation to keep pushing forward. Thanks to this powerful drive, we ultimately managed to accomplish it.
