Synopsis
A Filipino domestic worker is called to take care of an elderly couple in a Cypriot mountain village. What begins as a simple caregiving task gradually exposes a web of silent resentment, emotional dependency, and unspoken histories, forcing her into the delicate and unsettling space between obligation and intimacy.
