A woman is in search of herself. She discovers unpleasant truths, childhood traumas and deals with her fragmented reality. It is a journey of discoveries about loneliness, madness and emptiness within herself and a story about how she comes to terms with all this.
Ženska išče samo sebe. Odkrije neprijetne resnice, otroške travme in se ukvarja s svojo fragmentirano resničnostjo. Popotovanje po osamljenosti, norosti in praznini v njej ter zgodba o tem, kako se s tem spopada.
