Film Synopsis

Dan carries a wound that will not close: a hole in his chest that resists healing. He cannot remember its origin, and cannot speak about it. Returning to the sinister landscape of his childhood, he must find the part of himself left behind long ago, whose absence prevents him, now an adult, from becoming whole. The film explores trauma, fragmentation, and the difficult work of internal recovery.
