She is finally beginning to emerge from this tragic episode when she meets a French teenager who strongly reminds her of her lost son. The two of them will embark on a relationship which will sow chaos and distrust around them.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A haunting exploration of grief and maternal longing, where a woman's fragile recovery is shattered when a stranger's resemblance to her lost son draws her into a dangerous obsession. The film carefully builds dread as the line between hope and delusion blurs.
