The short film explores the inherent impossibility of communication between lovers, delving into a profound state of anguish accentuated by a stark black-and-white aesthetic. It artfully combines the themes of love and death, embodying the duality of Eros and Thanatos.

 

The narrative unfolds in reverse, revealing five stages of grief inspired by the Kübler-Ross model. Each of the five stories intricately weaves the tale of a single couple, portrayed by eight different actors, offering a unique and poignant exploration of the complexities within the realms of love and loss.
