A slow, dreamlike drift through a lonely teenager's day, where small moments ache with quiet longing and strange beauty.

Tagline: A Film About Breath, Hands, Loneliness (and the Lack of Them All)
Overview: Jo, 15, melancholic and wild, feels shy about her music taste. Phaedra's ethereal song moves her deeply. Between breaths, she writes a poem, cuts an apology rose for her moody mom, but can't recall last night's dream. A day of shifts.
How it feels: Melancholic, eerie and earnest. Slow-burning and demanding.
About: Isolation, coming-of-age, identity, family
Content: Mild violence, sexual content and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
