Storyline
A psychological drama that explores the mental and emotional breakdown of Alex, a man struggling with the aftermath of a failed relationship. The film follows Alex as he navigates heartbreak, self-destruction, and redemption, oscillating between moments of clarity and deep psychological turmoil. Through therapy sessions, flashbacks, and intense internal dialogue, the audience witnesses Alex’s battle with his own mind, regret, and faith. As he searches for meaning, he confronts his manipulative tendencies, emotional detachment, and unresolved trauma, leading to a powerful, ambiguous ending.
