A Short Film About Futility and Hope
SYNOPSIS
Nicole, an Oakland therapist, is in the midst of an existential crisis.

Haunted by a former client's suicide, she battles addiction and guilt while struggling to find her place in a rapidly evolving city.

Set against the vibrant streets and communities of Oakland, California, this is a human story of loss, resilience, and our search for meaning in a fractured world.
