Description

Emma has settled into her hometown bar for the evening, a place where she met Lucas just a few years ago. It was here that their blind date ended in divorce nine months later, an event that still haunts her. As she listens to the locals' banter, fragments of her life story begin to emerge, and the past comes crashing down on her. The truth is complicated - there's no single reason why relationships fail. It's a mix of choices made over thousands of hours, late-night conversations, inside jokes, and making love. For Emma, it's about prioritization, ambition, and work. Caring about these things isn't the problem; not caring about them is death. As the night wears on, Emma teeters on the edge of oblivion, her life spinning out of control with shocking results. Anna Bruno's vivid portrayal of a woman grappling with grief, loss, and inheritance makes for a deeply human story that explores the messy complexity of one person's life.
