Synopsis

A young couple appears to live a peaceful life, yet beneath the surface their relationship is fractured. The woman struggles with the weight of a one-sided emotional bond and makes a final attempt to restore intimacy. Her partner dismisses her feelings, reducing their connection to physicality and treating her as subordinate. Disillusioned and depressed, she confronts the painful reality of emotional neglect.

Ironically, he sees himself as a feminist and advocate for women’s rights, publicly condemning physical violence and participating in the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, while failing to recognize the harm within his own relationship.
